The Hollywood and Africa Prestigious Awards (HAPAwards) celebrated its 10th anniversary with a historic event at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi, Ghana. Organizers chose Kumasi, the heart of the country, to honor its rich culture, history, leadership, and African heritage. The three-day event, from October 7 to 9, 2026, will feature the African Showcase, Creator’s Night, and King’s Night in honor of His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Twenty-five distinguished individuals will receive recognition for their contributions to society. HAPAwards aims to bridge the cultural and economic gap between Africa and Hollywood, inspiring young people to see the creative industry as a viable pathway to employment, entrepreneurship, and global opportunities. Founder Tina Weisinger emphasized that the awards began with a belief that Africa's extraordinary stories and talent deserve global recognition, and since 2017, HAPAwards has supported a diverse range of talent.

The Asantehene, through Nana Dr. Agyenim Boateng I, welcomed HAPAwards to Manhyia, aligning with the kingdom's tradition of welcoming the diaspora home.
