The NAACP Image Awards are an event organized by the U.S National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The ceremony celebrates the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the television, music, and literature. It also recognizes those people of color who promote social justice through their creative work. Nominations occur several months before the event. A committee votes first and then soon after voting becomes open to the public.
The NAACP Awards were first held in 1968 and then became televised in 1994 on the Fox Network. The event occurs annually around the first week of February.
