Nineteen57 Events Unveils the Black Star Legacy Awards: Honoring Excellence Across Ghana, Africa, and the Diaspora
Nineteen57 Events has officially announced the launch of the Black Star Legacy Awards, a prestigious platform dedicated to recognizing outstanding individuals and organizations making significant contributions to Ghanaian society, the African continent, and the global African diaspora.

Originally introduced as part of Rhythms on the Runway in 2019 during Ghana’s historic Year of Return, the Black Star Legacy Awards has since celebrated remarkable achievements in creative arts, culture, and beyond.
Over the years, esteemed figures 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, solidifying the event’s status as a highly anticipated annual celebration of excellence.
A New Chapter in Recognition
As the awards continue to evolve, Nineteen57 Events is thrilled to announce its transition into an independent, standalone event, allowing for an expanded focus on recognizing excellence across diverse fields, including business, leadership, innovation, science, and humanitarian efforts.

This significant evolution aligns with the awards’ mission to celebrate the spirit of achievement and innovation that defines Ghana while strengthening connections with the Pan-African and global community.
Although specific event details, including categories and selection criteria, are still being finalized, the Black Star Legacy Awards promises to be an unforgettable showcase of excellence, spotlighting individuals and organizations whose impact extends far beyond borders.
More than just an awards ceremony, the Black Star Legacy Awards is a celebration of those shaping the future of Ghana, Africa, and the diaspora.
