Nigerian Entertainment Awards
It is officially that time of the year again, when the Nigerian
Entertainment Awards
(NEA Awards) begins calling on all members of the entertainment
industry to submit their work for consideration; and all fans and
supporters to
vote for their favorite entertainers in the 2013 NEA Awards.
With its growing popularity and respectable standing among the
Nigerian, and African entertainment industry, the producers of the NEA
Awards have decided to expand the award categories this year to include
regional recognition for
artists
in the music category. The three awards added are East/West/South
African Artist or Group of the Year. The organizers decision to extend
the category to include all three African regions simply goes to
emphasize the organization’s commitment to celebrating, recognizing and
promoting not only the Nigerian entertainment industry, but also the
thriving African industry as well.
Keeping in line with what has come to be the tradition of the past
three years, the 2013 NEA Awards nominees will be announced at
the annual Nomination
Gala, scheduled to hold on May 30th in Lagos, Nigeria. The Nomination Gala
is an opportunity for all nominees to celebrate their nomination in
Lagos, surrounded by their fellow colleagues, members of the overall
industry and well wishers, before the main award ceremony here in New
York City.
Fans will have the opportunity to begin voting right after the Nomination Gala. The NEA Awards considers artists,
actors, actresses, entertainment and media personalities for awards
based on their body of work from the previous year – March 2012 and
March 2013. Any one interested in submitting their work for
consideration can do so via email: info@nigeriaentawards.com. The
producers of the NEA Awards are thankful to all who have been a part of
the continued success of the award show over the years, and are looking
forward to making this 8th year even better. The 2013 NEA Awards is
slated for August, in New York City.
For all things NEA Awards tune in to Cool FM 96.9 (Lagos), the
