It was all smiles Feb. 29 at the inaugural Jacksonville Image Awards held at the Ritz Theater, which celebrate pioneers in the African American community. And the 2021 Jacksonville Image Awards are no exception. With the ongoing public health crisis, we have made the decision to avoid having our finalists gather in person for the awards. Instead, we’re transforming this year’s awards show into a virtual event that will give our finalists and their families an opportunity to celebrate their achievements from the safety of their own homes. The Image Awards are scheduled for Feb. 27.
