Entries flood in for AFRIMA 3.0

Going by the enthusiastic response of African music artistes, music professionals and journalists who have flooded the AFRIMA website with entries from across the continent and from Africans in the Diaspora for the 2016 All Africa Music Awards, AFRIMA tagged “AFRIMA 3.0”, the International Committee of AFRIMA is appealing to other music professionals yet to submit their works that there will be no extension after the deadline for submission on July 30, 2016.
Explaining further, Project Director, Kemi Ashefon, said: “I must say we are impressed by the level of participation by African artistes, on the continent and in the Diaspora, in the on-going AFRIMA 3.0 entries submission process so far. This is an encouraging success marker for us considering the fact that we have surpassed the 1500 mark before the close of entries in two weeks’ time.”
Speaking further on what to expect after the close of entries in July 30, President and Executive Producer, AFRIMA, Mike Dada said: “We would not want to distort the calendar for this year’s edition. Sticking to the deadline will enable an early screening on the list of entries submitted for the adjudication process and nominees’ announcement.”
