The Phoenix Newspaper in association with (Headline Sponsor) is proud, privileged, and humbled to announce it will be celebrating its Glittering 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner and Awards Presentation Ceremony, as well as Jamaica’s 60th Anniversary of Independence, and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year at an exclusive venue in Accra, Ghana on the 20th September 2022.
As a Commonwealth Newspaper, we are proud to celebrate with all the countries of the
Commonwealth, most of which will have descended on Birmingham just a month prior for the fantastic Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, the home of The Phoenix Newspaper.
In the year of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, it’s fitting that her Commonwealth will be coming together for such an unforgettable event, and in the United
Kingdom too!
Once the festivities of the games are over, all roads will lead to Accra, to celebrate Queen
Elizabeth’s Jubilee, and most importantly, to recognise the tradition Kings and Queens across
Africa.
For the first time this year the awards categories will not be up for public vote, as this
year we will be awarding significant figures across Africa and the diaspora.
On the night, it will be a glorious and spectacular enlightenment as the traditional Kings and
Queens of Africa proceed in their glory to an occasion that is fitting for this special Jubilee year.
They will be joined by world leaders, governors, high ranking military officials, dignitaries,
specially invited guests and of course our wonderful readers, supporters and friends coming together to share in the successes The Phoenix Newspaper has had over the last 10 years, as well as celebrate their legacy.
In 2019, at the 9th Anniversary of The Phoenix Newspaper, the Jamaica High Commissioner, the
Rt Hon George Ramocan made the announcement of the special relationship that Ghana has formed with the Government of Jamaica, and there is a similar agreement has been reached between Jamaica and Nigeria.
Ghana has one of the fastest growing economies in all of Africa, so it’s an auspicious time for us
to bring the positivity of The Phoenix Newspaper to the region.
We invite you to come to Africa, introducing “The Legacy Tour: Be Bold” – a 3 day conference
from the 21st – 23rd September in Accra, Ghana, going back to where we started, showcasing the best that Ghana has to offer, with study tours, talks from our keynote speakers and many
networking opportunities.
In Ghana’s Year of Return 2019, President Nana Akufo-Addo invited Africans in the diaspora to
unite with Africans. Many Jamaicans took up the invitation during this time, and therefore we
will be celebrating the continuation of the Year of Return by highlighting the existing, thriving
Jamaican community in Ghana.
This will be a continuation of the celebrations for Jamaica’s 60th Anniversary of Independence,
with people invited to share in this conference and to hear from our Keynote speakers about
the opportunities and investments that are available to them.
An opportunity for Birmingham and the West Midlands to seize the opportunity to connect and
partner with Africans and the diaspora to continue the legacy of ‘Be Bold’.
Regardless of your race, colour, creed, gender or sexuality, The Phoenix Newspaper is here to
spread positive news about all people, combatting the overhyped and sensationalised news pushed by the rest of the mainstream media.
Only by coming together in solidarity can we
move forward in such uncertain times.
The Phoenix has been promoting and celebrating the power that the diversity of our nation has,
inclusive of all of the sectors that make Britain ‘Great’ for a decade, and while it wasn’t an easy
journey for us by any means, we now have a publication that is accepted, trusted, and loved by people of all walks of life and nationalities.
This is an awards ceremony that recognises diversity, inclusion and success from all sectors and walks of life, so this year make sure you don’t miss out.
This will be a royal occasion with an exclusive audience of over 500 seated guests for a grand
dinner and networking opportunity with the elite, there are sponsorship opportunities for
business and commerce to engage in opportunities that will be beneficial to all participants.
