The Substantial Awards is an annual awards stage show that recognizes the excellence and vital contributions of our local minority communities. In conjunction with the City of Greenville’s Minority Enterprise Development Week (MED Week), this event brings together major local brands, area leaders, and hundreds of community members from all around to support and enjoy a night of dynamic performances, special guest presenters, and stories that inspire a deeper commitment to excellence in our communities.

5 Awards are bestowed on individuals who have served to become our own symbols of heart, industriousness, and service for a greater reward.

This event is presented by Greenville local nonprofit, NC CIVIL.
