What are the AFRONEWS Awards?
The Afronews Awards celebrate and recognise the outstanding achievements of Africans in different fields in Germany. They are a way of appreciating and encouraging Africans who have excelled in different fields and are making a positive contribution to the German society.
The Awards also recognise the good work done by African organisations/associations and businesses to promote a positive image of Africa and Africans, facilitate integration of Africans in Germany, promote business opportunities and international cooperation between Germany and African countries, and above all, make Germany and the world a better place for all of us.
The Afronews Awards Gala Night 2023 is organised by Afronews, the newspaper for Africans in Germany in collaboration with GMB Promotions, founded and headed by Christopher Mendy alias Chris Black, the winner of the Best African Events Organiser 2022 Award at the last edition of Afronews Awards.
