The NACC is being awarded, as stated by the organising committee of the SUNSHINE Awards, for its involvement: "in the various Caribbean art forms and carnival since the 1970's. NACC is also credited for designing and developing many training and development programs for young performing artists.

The organization also plays an active role in the African Liberation Day and the Liberation Day celebrations."
The Top 20 Stars of Gold and Calypso of the Year Awards Ceremony was introduced by the NACC in 1988 in order to develop greater respect and appreciation for the art form of calypso and those involved in the art.
