The GAB 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 a GAB 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 GAB Awards recipients. The GAB Awards is highly prestigious
and highly coveted.
There are usually 8 – 15 awards given out at each event.
The GAB Awards
