QX Events

QX arranges the yearly award-ceremony Gaygalan Awards, handing out prizes for LGBT-achievements since 1999.[4] In 2004, the gala was broadcast for the first time on Sveriges Television when it was held at Hamburger Börs with Annika Lantz as the host.[5] QX also currently rules the franchise of Mr Gay Sweden and has a sponsorship with the Stockholm Pride Agency.[6]
