The story

Celestia Awards Liberia in Monrovia

The Celestia Awards is Monrovia's dedicated gospel music honor, recognizing Liberian Christian artists across categories from Worship Song of the Year to Diasporian Artist of the Year. Launched publicly in 2024 with a press conference at the Royal Grand Hotel, it has become a fixture on the local entertainment calendar, drawing pastors, choir leaders, producers and gospel fans into one shared celebration of faith-driven Liberian music.

Liberian gospel musicians gather in Monrovia for the Celestia Awards, a ceremony built specifically to honor artists making Christian and gospel music in a country whose airwaves otherwise favor hipco, afrobeats and reggae.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes the Celestia Awards from Liberia's many secular music prizes is its exclusive focus on gospel and Christian music across nearly every local genre, including hipco gospel, reggae gospel, worship, traditional Gbema-style praise songs and spoken word

02

The mystery stays covered

The ceremony brings choirs, praise dance troupes and diaspora-based artists together on a single stage rarely shared outside church settings, and its nominee announcements alone generate weeks of anticipation among Liberia's gospel-listening public
