Nominations for the Image Awards, which honor those who promote diversity in the arts, will be announced Jan. 7.
The Feb. 12 ceremony, airing on Fox, will kick off a yearlong centennial celebration for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Berry, an Academy Award-winner for "Monster's Ball," and Perry, whose credits include the film "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," are former Image Award winners.
Awards chair Clayola Brown said in a statement Tuesday that the two have broken entertainment-industry barriers and their success offers hope for further progress.
