THE NAFCA SPECIAL HONORS<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
The NAFCA Special Honors was established in 2011 by the Nollywood & African Film<\/b><\/p>\n
Critics\u2019 Awards to grace the lives and achievements of African luminaries. These<\/b><\/p>\n
honorary awards are awarded to recognize contributions over the whole of a<\/b><\/p>\n
career, rather than or in addition to single contributions of an individual. The<\/b><\/p>\n
NAFCA Special Honors also recognize outstanding community leaders whose<\/b><\/p>\n
professional careers have been marked by extraordinary personal and professional<\/b><\/p>\n
accomplishments. The NAFCA Special Honors were presented for the first time in<\/b><\/p>\n
2011 to President Nelson Mandela.\u00a0 Recipients of this award in subsequent years<\/b><\/p>\n
include President Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Presentations of The NAFCA Special Honors are made yearly during the second<\/b><\/p>\n
weekend in September at the Nollywood & African Film Critics\u2019 Awards also known<\/b><\/p>\n
as the African Oscars. The award categories include: \u2022 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT<\/b><\/p>\n
