Nineteen57 Events proudly unveils the Black Star Legacy Awards, a prestigious platform dedicated to celebrating exceptional individuals and organizations whose contributions are shaping Ghana, the African continent, and the global African diaspora.

A Legacy of Excellence
Originally introduced as a segment of Rhythms on the Runway in 2019—during Ghana’s historic Year of Return—the Black Star Legacy Awards has since evolved into a beacon of recognition for outstanding achievements in creative arts, culture, and beyond. Over the years, this distinguished honor has been bestowed upon luminaries 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—all icons whose contributions continue to inspire generations.

A New Chapter: Expanding the Vision
Now poised for even greater impact, the Black Star Legacy Awards is set to transition into an independent, standalone event—an evolution that reflects its expanding scope and ambition. This transformation enables a broader recognition of excellence, extending beyond arts and culture to encompass business, leadership, innovation, science, and humanitarian efforts.
This bold step forward aligns with the awards’ mission: to celebrate the indomitable spirit of achievement and innovation that defines Ghana and its deep-rooted connections to the Pan-African and global community.

Unveiling the Future
As anticipation builds, details regarding award categories, selection criteria, and the grand celebration itself 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.
