It’s nomination time for the 2025 Black Excellence Awards.
A joint venture involving the Black Excellence committee, along with Buxton’s Next Generation (BNG) and Buxton National Historic Site & Museum, the event features awards and gala.
The awards will celebrate the black community and the greater community in the following categories: Female of the Year, Agriculturalist of the Year, Youth of the Year, Male of the Year, and Black-Owned Business Citizen of the Year.
“We are excited to announce that we have increased the youth of the year category. We felt it was important to break up the age brackets to better represent the youth on our community,” Michelle Robbins, co-chair and curator of Buxton National Historic Site and Museum, said in a media release.
Nominations will close, Jan. 18. Winners will be announced at the gala on March 1.
To nominee a worthy individual or business you can do so by filling out the form found on the Black Excellence Awards Facebook page.
“It’s important to note that people can be nominated posthumously and also on that night we will be recognizing our Trailblazer Award, our most prestigious award,” co-chair Doug Robbins said.
