On this 25th May 2023, on the 60th anniversary of the creation of the African Union, afrorama launches its new website. Afrorama aims to combat misinformation, promote a nuanced understanding of Africa, and showcase its true beauty and complexity.

Today, afrorama also launches an oral history competition which invites afro-optimists from around the world to submit videos of themselves capturing the best and most captivating tales on African heritage, tradition and culture. Participants will stand a chance to win prizes including a cash prize and online courses, and be featured across Afrorama’s platforms. The competition will run for two months from 25 May - 25 July 2023. Entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges, including Jocelyne Muhutu-Remy, Managing Director, Sub-Saharan Africa at Spotify.

Winners will be announced on 31 August, the International Day for People of African Descent.
