Callao City Lights was one of the sponsors of MADO Madrid Pride this year.

At the MADO 2025 Awards, presented last Thursday as part of the official Madrid Pride programme, we met the winners: the Lambda Valencia Collective, actress Cayetana Guillén Cuervo, artist and activist Samantha Hudson and, in memoriam, Pedro Zerolo.

Created in 2009, these awards aim to recognise and highlight the work of individuals, organisations, groups, activists and institutions – public or private – that have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement, defence and visibility of the rights of LGTBIQ+ people.

MADO Madrid Pride 2025 will be held for 11 days, from 26 June to 6 July, with an extensive programme of events, activities, celebrations and concerts.
