You can nominate yourself or be nominated by someone else for a honour at the 20th Annual GAB Awards which takes place in London on Sunday December 16 2018.
The GAB Awards was established by The Trumpet Newspaper in 1999 - to reward excellence among Africans and Friends of Africa on the Continent and in the Diaspora who are contributing to the promotion of the positive image of Africa and Africans. The excellence displayed by these, no doubt, enhances the positive image of Africa and Africans.
