The Sixth Edition · 2026
The 6th Osabarimba Royal Awards were held at the Oguaa Emintsimadze Palace in January 2026, honouring trailblazers across business, education, health, media, tourism, religion, sport and our indigenous institutions.
From market queens and community caretakers to medical officers, broadcasters and institutions that brought national events to Cape Coast, the sixth edition reaffirmed what these awards stand for: collaboration between traditional authority, public institutions, business and the people of Oguaaman.
