Shining a Light on Compassion and Contribution
Our annual GWEN Luminary Awards celebrates individuals who are making a difference in the world through acts of kindness, leadership, mentorship, community building, and human rights activism.
We are proud of the six year history of honoring those who are shining a spotlight in the world as GWEN Luminary Award Recipients.
Since COVID and lockdown, we had to bring our awards show virtual. Here is a link to GWEN Luminary Hollywood to Nollywood Awards for 2020.
Stay tuned for details for the 6 Annual Awards on December 11, 2021
