The best way to change the sentence "Presenters give awards to the winners at the elaborate ceremony held every year." from active to passive voice is by changing the subject of the sentence from "winners" to "awards". Thus the passive sentence would be "Awards are given to winners by presenters at the elaborate ceremony every years." To create a passive voice, the subject must change so that people are not doing an activity but that an activity is being done to people.
