In Spring of 2007, QBliss Executive Director, Editor In Chief & Founder , decided after eight years of existence of QBliss that he wanted to honor those in our community that were helping to create change within our GLBTIA Community as well as our greater community, while reflecting positive images, messages, and promoting inclusion, tolerance and showing that a community is made of many people, and that each is a vital member.

The very first award "The QBliss GLBTI Creating Change Community Award - Voice of PRIDE Award” 2007 was given to the Memphis, Tennessee, based organization "Mid South Pride" in June 2007. Later that year the second award "The QBliss GLBTI Creating Change Community Award: “ Community Supporter Award” 2007 was given. These two awards started it all.

In spring of  2008, Olivera and QBliss announced several new awards that will be given out in 2008. Including "The QBliss GLBTIA Creating Change Community Award " - "Gary Wilkerson Visionary Leadership Award". Olivera hopes that these awards will help show our greater community the power of change that people can create with just the drive of wanting to create it.
