Mayor’s Competition Christmas 2017

Think of all the inspirational and motivational black people who have ever lived on Earth. Politicians, musicians, actors, doctors, writers, sporting heroes and heroines, people who worked for peace and justice – and many more icons.

“If you could come back as any iconic black person, who would you be and why?”

Answer that question by email and you and your ‘plus one’ could be on your way to the Black Beauty and Fashion Awards on Friday 23 February 2018 at Porchester Hall, London.

The event

One lucky winner will attend a red carpet affair, with complementary drink on arrival, 3-course dinner, fashion show, live entertainment, exhibitors, goody bags, Sickle cell charity fundraising and more!
