It often happens when winners get an award and get emotional while the speech, they want to share the fame and award with others. Usually, it is out of acknowledgment, but this year’s Brit Awards is making an exception there.

The Brit Awards has come up with a special ‘double trophy’ option that allows the recipients to reward some of their own choices. It can be considered as an ‘Act of Kindness’ which highlights the ceremony even more.

Some of the artists like Yinka Ilori and Es Devlin said that the lockdown has inspired them to come up with a new design.

A total of 4,000 audiences will be watching the show live at London's O2 Arena on 11th May.

The Government has announced that attendees can enjoy the program without any restriction of social distancing and wearing face coverings.

However, the audiences will be requiring a negative test result on the rapid coronavirus test. It is a pilot scheme that the government has started to support the live events that provides an idea of how big events in the future can take place.

Most of the tickets will be availed of by the key workers in London, the people from the music industry and last but not the least, the nominees.

The audience can experience live performances by Dua Lipa, Arlo Parks, Griff, Headie One, and many others in the show.

It is the first biggest indoor music ceremony in the UK after the nationwide lockdown since last March.

This year’s nomination includes some of the famous pop stars in the industry that created much anticipation among the fans and followers.

Parks got the nomination for the breakthrough artist. On the other hand, The Weeknd received the nomination for the international male solo artist. Likewise, Billie Eilish got nominated for the international female solo artist.

The international group category is showing some diversity with HAIM, Run the Jewels, Fontaines D.C., Foo Fighters, and BTS as well.

Artists and designers have come up with new designs. This year, there will be two award designs, one with the bigger size and multiple colors, and the other one is comparatively smaller with a metallic finish.

Dame Vivienne Westwood, Tracey Emin, Sir Anish Kapoor, and Sir David Adjaye, and others have worked together to come up with the design that changes every year.

Devlin said that this year’s ‘double trophy’ will allow the winners to reward their second trophy "to someone they consider worthy - it might be recognition - or it might be someone that does something entirely unrelated to music".

Ilori told that he wanted to captivate "the experience of lockdown, where your neighbor you've lived beside for six years and never say hello to suddenly gave you flowers, foods, acts of kindness".

He further added, "I would describe it as two artists from different disciplines, different inspirations, coming together to design a trophy based around the idea of giving something back."
