The Sacred Crown Awards, an initiative by His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the Ga Mantse and President of the Ga Traditional Council, seeks to celebrate and preserve African heritage, spirituality, and wellness. It also recognizes individuals and institutions making exceptional contributions.

The organizers emphasized that a previously announced one-week period for corrections and omissions is still open for genuine administrative errors, such as mistakes in names, titles, or categories. However, they clarified that this period does not mean nominations are being reopened. All valid submissions received within the stipulated timeframe will be reviewed before any official amendments are made. The inaugural edition of the awards is scheduled for October 31, 2026, featuring nominees across entertainment, traditional authority, faith, healthcare, philanthropy, and culture.
