The Triumph Awards

A Celebration of Triumph

The Triumph Awards, presented by the National Action Network, shine a light on leaders, visionaries, and cultural icons who advance social, racial, and economic justice. Founded and led by Reverend Al Sharpton, this signature celebration embodies NAN's mission to uplift communities and champion equality.

For over 15 years, the Triumph Awards has recognized those who rise above challenges, inspire change, and embody the true meaning of triumph.

More than an event, the Triumph Awards is a declaration. Justice must be demanded, truth must be told, and real triumph is measured by service to others.

Rev. Al Sharpton, Founder and President of the National Action Network

The Venue

The evening unfolds in the Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, Carnegie Hall's grand main auditorium, a fitting setting to honor the leaders, visionaries, and cultural icons who embody the meaning of triumph.
