Black Sherif<\/strong><\/p>\n The voting portal for the 2022 edition of the All Africa Awards (AFRIMA) opened to the public on Sunday, September 25 at 21:00 (CAT), to decide the winners of each of the 39 award categories, globally.<\/p>\n The International Committee for AFRIMA in conjunction with the African Union Commission (AUC) announced last Friday, encouraging African music lovers to vote intensively using the live voting portal at www.AFRIMA.org<\/em> before the portal shuts down on December 10, 2022, the eve of the awards.<\/p>\n More information on the voting process, which would also be audited by the International auditing firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), can also be found on the website, as well as AFRIMA\u2019s social media (Instagram\/TikTok \u2013 @Afrima.official; Facebook \u2013 Afrimawards; Twitter \u2013 @afrimaofficial).<\/p>\n Like it did at the AFRIMA 2021 edition, the PwC, which has audited other major global awards including the Oscars, will audit the voting portal, collate the votes and present them at the awards.<\/p>\n According to AFRIMA\u2019s Executive Producer\/President, Mike Dada, \u201cAFRIMA\u2019s core values of FACE IT \u2013 Fairness, Authenticity, Creativity, Excellence, Integrity and Transparency remain at the heart of our operations. With PwC, we are further reinforcing these value drivers, ensuring that we remain as inclusive, credible and authentic as always.\u201d<\/p>\n Recall that the list of nominees was unveiled globally last Wednesday, revealing a total of 382 nominations across all 39 categories.<\/p>\n The nominations, which have received positive acclaim around the world, are the result of a 10-day rigorous decision convened by AFRIMA\u2019s 13-member jury in July.<\/p>\n Also, entries were considered for nominations for this year\u2019s awards only within the validity period of August 20, 2021 to August 5, 2022.<\/p>\n Mr. Mike Dada, said the awards body remains the ultimate hallmark of African music globally, also serving as an archive for other award bodies across the continent.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are not oblivious to the fact that there are some other award bodies which duplicate our nominations every year. As the ultimate identity of African music globally, we are a source of inspiration to both music gatekeepers and music lovers across the industry. AFRIMA continues to move forward to celebrate African talent and grow our creative ecosystem, and this year\u2019s edition is a step forward in that direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The 2022 All Africa Awards will now be held from December 8 to 11, 2022. A special announcement will be made on September 30, 2022 on the host country and the venue for the awards.<\/p>\n The AFRIMA awards ceremony will be a four-day celebration of music, glitz and glamour, with the aim of celebrating Africa, recognising talent and expanding the economic boundaries of the culture and creative industry on the continent.<\/p>\n The event is scheduled to begin with the welcome ceremony, followed by the AFRIMA Village, a tour of the host city, the Africa Business Summit, and the Special Nominee Party and conclude with a live awards ceremony broadcast in over 84 countries around the world.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Black Sherif The voting portal for the 2022 edition of the All Africa Awards (AFRIMA) opened to the public on Sunday, September 25 at 21:00 (CAT), to decide the winners of each of the 39 award categories, globally.
