Nominations are open for the Communiqué Person of the Year award
Help us find the African whose work moved the creative economy forward this year; nominations close September 1.
Last September, we announced the Communiqué Person of the Year Award to recognise Africans whose work over the past year has had a profound and demonstrable impact on the creative economy.
We’ve been working behind the scenes to make this happen, and now it’s time for you to do your part: nominate the people you think are deserving of the award.
Anyone, be it founders, artists, creators, or ecosystem builders, whose work between the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026 you think moves the needle and has a clear, discernible impact, is qualified.
We’ll research and verify every nomination to compile a long list, which an independent panel of industry stakeholders will review to determine the final winner.
Nominations close September 1, 2026.
