The Black History Makers Awards is a prestigious event that honors outstanding individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to the African, Caribbean, and African American communities. These awards celebrate trailblazers across various fields such as arts, culture, education, entrepreneurship, and social justice. Recipients are recognized for their exceptional achievements, leadership, and dedication to advancing the legacy and heritage of Black communities. The ceremony, held as part of the Black History Festival 2025, aims to inspire future generations by highlighting the impactful work and enduring legacies of these remarkable figures, fostering a spirit of pride, unity, and progress.

Each year, 8 Star Prize Winners emerge—four from the Americas and four from Africa—as the most distinguished honorees of that year.
