Next year’s trophy has been designed by the incredible Gabriel Moses, a British-Nigerian artist and photographer known for his work with both Little Simz and Stormzy. Moses spoke to the BRITs about his inspiration and design process for the 2025 trophy, he stated: “It all stems from my upbringing, my Nigerian heritage, sculptural works my mum would showcase all around our house… We tried to blend history and presence, with the latter informing the colours and texture of the sculpture, as for me it was also key to bring my photographs into this. To do so, we focused on the textural aspect of it, which is reminiscent of light and backdrops I use”.
The 2025 BRIT Awards will mark its 32nd ceremony where ITV remains its official broadcaster, meaning the show will be broadcast on both ITV1 and ITVX.
As anticipation for next year’s ceremony builds, BRIT has announced the 16 categories which will be presented during the show.
The 2025 Category List:

Although BRIT is yet to announce any of next year’s nominees, in previous years they have been held under scrutiny for their choice of nominees. In 2022, the BRIT Awards introduced gender neutral categories which merged male and female artist awards to include male, female and nonbinary acts, despite these changes the category did not include any women. This led to BRIT increasing the number of nominees in 2023 from five to ten, to include more women in the category.
Along with a lack of nominees being announced by BRIT, they haven’t yet announced the lineup of performances for the night. Last year saw pop icon Dua Lipa perform ‘Training Season’, Jungle perform ‘Back On 74’, Kylie Minogue perform a medley from her legendary discography after being awarded the Global Icon Award and Raye, who performed a medley of ‘Ice Cream Man’, ‘Prada’ and ‘Escapism’ after stunning viewers for breaking BRIT records for winning six awards in one night.
With the BRIT Awards track record, it is no doubt that BRIT will announce a list of iconic acts to perform at next year’s ceremony. For more updates on the forthcoming awards, tickets and additional information can be found here.
