May 15, 2015 – New
York City - In celebrating its 10th year anniversary, the
Nigeria Entertainment Awards has expanded its nomination categories and
instituted new policy changes to 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.
A new
policy was instituted by the President/CEO, Mr. Martin Fayomi on the issue of
trophy distribution to eventual winners. 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 Channel DSTV Channel 326 for
all updated on NEA and exclusive content from the awards ceremony.
