To celebrate the power of differences and to inspire people to be proud of who they are, we decided to showcase what happens when different artists give their unique style to one same song.

With the help of Mercedes-Benz as a partner he was able to make this dream come true..

THE GRAND, LONDON
21-25 Saint John's Hill, London, SW11 1TT
The Grand is a Grade II listed Victorian building originally built as a 3,000 audience capacity music hall in 1900. In 1901 they began screening films and in 1927 converted to a full time cinema- continuing on through two World Wars! There is no doubt that this venue will have screened some of the original films that established the film industry of today. Now in 2019, it's used for live music, club nights and movie screenings; featuring the UK's largest sports screen. That balance between Victorian architecture and updated technology make it our choice of venue for the screening, awards and afterparty.
