If you know of an African Caribbean organisation, business, or individual in the United Kingdom that demonstrates excellence within their community, we invite you to seize this opportunity to share their worthwhile contributions. Your nomination will enable us to acknowledge and celebrate their impactful work, ensuring that their efforts are not only understood but also appreciated and recognised by the broader community.

In recognising the vast and rich diversity within our beautiful community, our carefully chosen categories reflect this diversity while aligning with this year’s selected theme. We look forward to uncovering and spotlighting the outstanding achievements that make a positive difference in the lives of those within the African Caribbean community in the UK.

NOTES:

• Nominating is a simple process; you can nominate yourself, a company, an employee, a charity, an individual or anyone else whom you consider worthy of a Bright recognition.  The easy-to-use, free online form only takes a few minutes to complete, and you’re welcome to make as many different nominations from the various categories as you wish.
• Finalists may be asked to provide further evidence of achievement(s).

• You can still nominate even if you’re a previous nominee, finalist, or winner.

• Nominations can be made from abroad so long as the person nominated is a UK resident (the ‘INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN’   award category can also represent those outside of the UK). 

Nominees will be shortlisted by our experienced judging panel and will not be judged by the number of nominations each individual receives.  Shortlisted nominees will be invited to attend the event.     

Closing date for nominations:  Midnight Sunday 31st May 2026
