A few words our guests used to describe last night’s Spotlight Awards: super fun, silly, loud, musical, delicious, memorable, moving, lots of people and friends, special, artistic, community, dance party… and more.

We couldn’t ask all 400+ guests, so share with us in the comments👇: what word would YOU use to describe last night? 🤔

Thanks again to everyone who joined us for the celebration of our incredible honorees. Another special shoutout to Michele Gile from CBS Los Angeles 📺 who returned for her eighth year as our master of ceremonies. We love having you with us! 💐

More photos coming soon… be sure to tag us in your photos from last night too! 📸

We’re already excited about what next year’s party will look like as we prepare to host our 30th annual celebration!! 🎉🎶
