Now, we get to the business end of this assignment: Nominations of credible, worthy and inspirational potential recipients of the maiden Wale Olomu Memorial Awards (WOMA). The awards will be held between 9 and 23 December, 2023 on our two-hour long radio show (via TopRadio 90.9 FM).
Note that your well-considered nominees are for two main categories: Special Recognition Awards (SRA) and Lifetime Achievement (LAA) Awards. Neither category is competitive, nor subjected to voting and regular selection processes.
However, a Steering Committee shall be set up to review the credentials and pedigrees of nominated personalities, and thereafter identify and present a worthy candidate for each category. Of course, the Steering Committee would be encouraged to also carefully exercise their judgement, exposure and affinity with Nigerian entertainment.
The only two qualifying criteria: One is that the SRA nominees shall be people of immense and aspirational talent, creativity and outstanding contributions to any area of the Nigerian music industry in any of the understated categories – meaning people who have been avid practitioners for at least 10 years; while 35 years and above for the LAA.
Second is that wherever they may be in the world does not matter, simply let them be bonafide Nigerians.
The following are the tentative categories for your esteemed nominations…:
Music Producers
Sound Engineers
Studio Managers
Music Video Editors
Artiste Managers
Band Managers
Live Show Photographers
Set Designers
Session Men
Backup Vocalists
Percussionists
Disc/Vid Jockeys
Hype Men/Women
(List Not Exhausted)
Note: This exercise will remain open for your esteemed nominations and contributions until the last minute of Friday, the 3rd day of November 2023.
PS: Interested, committed, experienced and reputable volunteers can DM me (or by other private means) to join the small-sized Steering Committee. Eventual invitation would be at the discretion of the coordinator. Thank you.
