There are a number of categories where the eventual winners will be awarded for their selfless service to sexual and gender minorities. The best LGBTI activist/organisation 2015 will receive a He-goat and the beauty pageant will see the crowning of the Kuchu Prom King and Queen.
The newly crowned king and queen will be awarded a cheque of 500,000ugx each for a small business set up. The rest of the proceedings received during the event will be divided and distributed to both the Uganda LGBTI community at grass root level and those in Kenya. Essentials like sugar, food, beddings and clothes will also be purchased for the refugees in Kenya.
