Nineteen57 Events has announced the launch of the Black Star Legacy Awards, a prestigious platform dedicated to honoring exceptional individuals and organizations contributing to the growth and success of Ghanaian society, the African continent, and the African diaspora.

Since its inception as part of Rhythms on the Runway in 2019 during Ghana’s historic Year of Return celebration, the Black Star Legacy Awards has recognized remarkable achievements in creative arts, culture, and beyond.

Esteemed icons from Ghana, Africa and the African Diay such as Obrafour, Ricci Osei, Hon. Lisa Hanna, Reggie Rockstone, Queen Asabea Cropper, Nene Agyemang, Agya Koo Nimo, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, Morgan Heritage, Stonebwoy, and Richard Mofe Damijo have been among the honorees, setting the stage for what has become a highly anticipated annual celebration of excellence.

A New Era of Recognition

As the Black Star Legacy Awards grows in scope and ambition, Nineteen57 Events is excited to announce its transition to an independent, standalone event. This shift allows for an expanded focus, honoring excellence across various fields, including business, leadership, innovation, science, and humanitarian efforts.

This bold move aligns with the awards’ mission of celebrating the spirit of achievement and innovation that defines Ghana and connects it to the broader Pan-African and global community.

While specific event details, including categories and selection criteria, are still being finalized, the Black Star Legacy Awards promises to be an unforgettable experience that highlights the very best of Ghana, Africa, and the diaspora.

More than just an event, the Black Star Legacy Awards is a celebration of the individuals and organizations whose impact resonates far beyond borders.
