AFRIMA: Music, Video Submission To End August 1
The 2018 edition of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) has announced its deadline for submission of songs and videos to be August 1, 2018.
Recall that the Organizers announced its call for entries on May 25 and thereby opened its online portal-www.afrima.org to receive songs and videos recorded or produced by African music professionals within the eligibility period of August 1, 2017 to August 1, 2018.

AFRIMA Country Director, South Africa, Mr. Lekunutu Sekobo, advised African artistes yet to enter their works to take advantage of the few days remaining.
“I urge all musicians, record labels, music producers, music managers and the recording industry of Africa at large to take full advantage of the few days remaining before submissions close on the 1st of August. I encourage you to submit your crafts or submit on behalf of your clients in any of the suitable award categories. Africans should embrace this initiative by AFRIMA and show full cooperation and support. AFRIMA is the biggest platform where Africans are showing immense enthusiasm through music and art.
“I would also like to call on the Department of Arts and Culture under Minister Nathi Mthethwa and the Department of Tourism under Minister Derek Hanekom, not excluding corporate South Africans, to embrace and give full support to AFRIMA’s vision for Africa’s Cultures Renaissance so we can overcome the challenges confronting our continent as former President Thabo Mbeki championed in his term of office”.
Once the AFRIMA submission portal closes on August 1, the screening and adjudication process will commence on August 7 by the 13-man AFRIMA committee.

“Immediately after the week-long adjudication process, the 2018 AFRIMA nominees List will be unveiled and nominated artistes, songs and videos will then have to slug it out with other regional and continental music contemporaries and legends to emerge winners of the AFRIMA 23.9 carat gold plated trophy,” AFRIMA said in a statement.
The event which is Organised by the African Union Commission in partnership with the International Committee of AFRIMA is scheduled to hold on November 25th 2018.
