The African diaspora of the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia) is already mobilizing for one of the most prestigious events of the African community in the United States: the 11th African Awards of Washington (AWA).
Organized by PJM Productions, this gala evening will take place on Friday, November 27, 2026 at the prestigious Martin’s Crosswinds in Greenbelt, Maryland. A true annual celebration of recognition, the African Awards of Washington honor African and Afro-descendant personalities who stand out for their leadership, commitment and success in many fields.
Over the years, the event has become a major platform for showcasing the talents of the diaspora. Entrepreneurs, community leaders, innovators, artists and accomplished professionals gather to celebrate African excellence and inspire new generations.

The event thus attracts the most influential figures of the African diaspora living in the United States and around the world, in a glamorous atmosphere that blends networking, recognition and cultural celebration.
The evening promises an elegant and festive atmosphere, with a red carpet, honorary awards, professional encounters and moments of celebration that highlight the contribution of the African diaspora to economic, social and cultural development.
