The African Leadership Magazine Persons of the Year Awards, the leading vote-based third-party endorsement in the continent, has continued to attract interest from Africans within and in the Diaspora. 

The Chairman of the African Leadership Organization, in his remark, said that “unveiling of the winners of the African Leadership Magazine Persons of the Year, has become part of the organization’s new year practice that a large number of Africans look forward to.” Continuing, he maintained that “the nominees and eventual winners for this year, as in previous years, are deserving of these coveted awards because they have all contributed to making the continent a better place.” 

In his words, “these nominees have demonstrated great faith in the Africa project, and are ‘walking their talk’ in their communities, helping in changing the negative narratives about Africa globally. They all are true lovers of Africa, determinedly contributing, sometimes amidst challenging circumstances but undoubtedly making Africa and the world a better place for all.” 

The African Leadership Magazine Persons of the Year, which is in its 10th year, is an annual award reserved for distinguished Africans who have blazed the trail in the year under review. A shortlist of nominees are selected from results gathered via a Call for the nomination – traditionally promoted via paid online and offline campaigns across the continent, Europe, and the Americas. The call for nomination is the first step in a multi-phased process.
