Calvin Coolidge, former United State president and lawyer once said that no person was ever honored for what he received, rather honor has been the reward for what one gave out to the society. This, no doubt is a statement of fact and a true reflection of hard work, consistency, commitment and dedication to service.
On behalf of Walk front African Network, initiator of the Best of Edo Awards and the 2019 organizing team, we are pleased to announce the commencement of the planning for 2019 edition of BEST OF EDO AWARDS with a theme: To Inspire.
The event which was introduced in 2018 with about 15 award categories drawn from various sector of the economy was designed to recognize successful and hardworking industry achievers who have done well in their various fields of work.
Over time the achievements of our people have gone unnoticed and unrewarded. Although these people excelled in their chosen fields of endeavors, many of them were not recognized, none celebrated in their lifetime at least not at home among their people.
Now BOEA (Best of Edo Award) is saying, NEVER AGAIN! We want to celebrate the Best of our people by recognizing their exploits and achievements before their Obituaries. As the popular yet less mentioned saying puts it, Give people their flowers whilst they are living and can appreciate it and not at their funerals, BOEA wants to tell them, thank you for showing the way to the possibilities that are out there as long as one is diligent and excellent in their work.
We are using this medium to call in for nominations of Edo sons and daughters home and in the diaspora in the following categories; Entertainment, Business, Health, Politics, Religion, Academia, Banking & Finance, Arts & Culture, Telecommunication, Transport, Sports, Music, Media, Legal, Movie, Comedy, NGO, Security, Hospitality, Oil & gas.
Send name, current location and a brief profile of nominee/organization to walkfrontafrica@gmail.com. All nominations should be forwarded to walkfrontafrica@gmail.com from May 30th, 2019 till June 30th, 2019.
