In addition, the third award (Artistic Activist of the year), a category introduced in 2020, specifically recognizes artists both on the continent and diaspora who use their art to promote positive social change to the lives of Africans,” said Africans Rising in a statement sent to the newsrooms.
All winners, first and second runners-up from the three categories, will be presented with several awards ranging from cash prizes, award plaques, and souvenirs to participation in Africans Rising programmes, among others.
