Nearly two dozen people have been nominated in a number of categories, including youth, female, male, and citizen of the year. Honours will also be awarded for Black-owned Business of the Year, and Black Excellence in Education.
The Black Excellence Awards is organized by the Black Excellence Committee, in collaboration with Buxton’s Next Generation and the Buxton National Historic Site & Museum.
