The Birmingham Inspiration Awards makes it debut this month, with accolades being presented to models, community activists, young role models, media personalities, sports teams, and music and dance artists.

Organised by Shlepp Entertainment in conjunction with Made in Birmingham TV, the black-tie event takes place at the Birmingham ICC on Saturday 11th November, with an array of special guests including comedian and actor Pauline McLynn and musician Prince Bayo, who is not only the official Ambassador of the Birmingham Inspiration Awards but is also apparently is genuine bonafide Prince from the Royal Houses of Offa and Lagos in Nigeria!

Raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital, the ceremony is also expected to showcase dance performances, a catwalk fashion show and the ‘Top UK Model 2017’ finals.
