Nineteen57 Events is proud to introduce the Black Star Legacy Awards—a distinguished platform that celebrates exceptional individuals and organizations shaping Ghana, Africa, and the global African diaspora.
A Legacy of Excellence
Originally launched as a segment of Rhythms on the Runway in 2019 during Ghana’s historic Year of Return, the Black Star Legacy Awards has evolved into a beacon of recognition for excellence in creative arts, culture, and beyond. Over the years, icons 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 honored—each leaving an indelible mark on generations to come.
A New Chapter: Expanding the Vision
Now set to become an independent, standalone event, the awards are poised for an even greater impact. This evolution broadens the scope of recognition, extending beyond arts and culture to include achievements in business, leadership, innovation, science, and humanitarian efforts. It embodies the mission to celebrate the indomitable spirit of achievement and innovation that defines Ghana and its deep-rooted ties to the Pan-African and global community.
Unveiling the Future
As anticipation builds, further details regarding award categories, selection criteria, and the grand celebration will be revealed in the coming weeks. One thing is certain—the Black Star Legacy Awards will be an unforgettable tribute to the trailblazers whose influence resonates far beyond borders.
