Every year since 2017, Chozen Generation Sierra Leone recognizes and awards the men and women who performed extraordinary feats. The award prides itself on transparency and meritocracy.

The team at CGSL believes that in an era when Sierra Leone is experiencing a dearth of quality leaders, mentors, and role models, it is important that a credible recognition scheme be devised to award the hardworking Sierra Leoneans who consistently demonstrate excellence and leadership in their various fields.
