Nominations

The African Achiever Awards aims to reward excellence among Africans on the continent and Africans in the Diaspora. The excellence displayed by Africans, no doubt, enhances the positive image of Africa and Africans.

Criterion

The criterion for African Achiever Award, broadly speaking, is to have contributed to the enhancement of the positive image of Africa and Africans in any part of the world. As simple as the criterion sounds, there are numerous people who satisfy this criterion which means that the best of Africa’s Best are matched against each other to produce a high quality list of African Achiever Awards Award recipients. The African Achiever Award is highly prestigious and highly coveted.
