We're overjoyed with excitement to release double issues to kick off 2026 for our magazine. Those selected for the 26 of 2026 issues will be promoted and endorsed all year by Black Impact Magazine, Black Impact Media News Service, Black Leaders Worldwide, and our partners. Honorees will also be pitched for podcast appearances, features for other publications, and have the option to be on a cover as well. All the covers will be available for purchase and delivery worldwide.

If you are selected as one of the 26 of 2026, you will be required to pay the marketing fee associated with the honor, as you will be marketed until the end of 2026 (plus used in 2027 advertisements for the 27 of 2027 issues) as one of the selected. Keep in mind, we are only honoring 26 individuals per issue. Your placement is secured after payment. Our earliest scheduled publishing date is set for April 14, 2026 (latest will be May 26, 2026). All submissions (photos, bio, etc) for the magazine will be due as soon as possible. If selected for a cover, you will have time to set up your own professional photo shoot so that you deliver us a great cover photo to use. The photo(s) must be in high resolution and we want all Fresh, Creative, Successful, and Powerful covers. Deliver your best because the world will see you and you'll be representing black leaders globally.
