a few comments from some of the finalists...

“May I take this opportunity to wish The Blac Awards every success in this time of uncertainty and send you and the team my admiration for keeping alive this important event on the black calendar of events.”

 


 

“We are very proud and honoured to have been chosen for recognition in this category.
We love your Website and all that you are doing for our ‘unsung’ stars who have made untold contributions to this country. Keep up the good work!”

“Thank you, this brought a tear to my eye.  I’m happy with this.”
 

 
“Thank you so much for this. The fact that I have been shortlisted for such an Honourable Award, was such a shock to me. I am so touched and honoured that my friend/ex-colleague, acknowledges the work I have done and continue to do, which she has written so eloquently to encapsulate me as that person. I love what I do, it’s in my DNA.  The fact that you guys saw something in my friend’s application, I am already a Winner. I wish the other participants all the best and good luck. I am really looking forward to this event and meeting you and your team. Please pass on my regards to Imanii who had the pleasure of making that all important call, where I was completely gobsmacked.”
 

 
“Thank you for the nomination. This is much appreciated, I am humbled. Thank you for sending over the certificate. This is very great and thoughtful of my friend.”
 

 
“I love the roles/jobs that I do, which I don’t do for the accolades, it comes from the heart. Any job I don’t enjoy in life is not worth doing.  You guys do an amazing job and the fact that people in the Community are getting Awarded and Commended for the roles they play in Society gives them an even greater sense of purpose and achievement. Keep up the good work and looking forward to meeting you all by the grace of God.”

“I had some good news – been shortlisted for an award. Haven’t been smiling a lot lately, so appreciate this thanks to BLAC Awards.”

 


“Imanii and the team are doing well.  As black people we need to have our own platforms and recognise and encourage our peoples great works in their communities. We look at the big awards and we get left out all the time regardless of the great achievements. So I pray this reaches the heights and recognition of the major awards. I look forward to meeting you all.”
