In celebrating its 10th anniversary,
the Nigeria Entertainment Awards has expanded its nomination categories
and instituted new policies on how it will distribute its well sought
after award trophy. The expansion in award categories is more particular
in the movie sector, making room to recognize more indigenous actors,
actresses and film makers. The world recognizes the Nigeria film
industry and its global success and our platform mission extends to the
development of the subsector of Nollywood.
President/CEO,
Mr. Martin Fayomi on the issue of trophy distribution to eventual
winners said "We make it a policy that award recipients that aren't
available to pick up their plaques during the weekend of the award
ceremony must issue an official request in writing to the organizing
body and proper arrangement will be made to have the trophy picked up at
our headquarters. NEA will no longer haul plaques or ship trophies to
entertainers for obvious reason of cost and convenience."
Nomination announcement is set for June 11th, 2015. This announcement will be made via media release and published thereafter on our website. Voting will commence on July 1st and close August 30th, 2015.
Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to AfroMusic Pop TV - DSTV Channel
