The annual UK Luton Carnival Awards Evening took place on Saturday 30th May. It was a fabulous evening where the talent of the artists, musicians, performers and designers of Luton International Carnival 2015 was celebrated.

Each year, parade participants are judged on the quality of their costumes and performances. Judges award each entry a mark out of 25 based on three criteria; effort, artistic impression and representing the spirit of carnival.

A sparkling performance from the St Kitts and Nevis Friends Association secured them the top prize at the Luton Carnival parade.
