“No matter how popular an artiste or their works are, if they don’t submit them for the awards, they will stand no chance of winning as the AFRIMA jury will not go sourcing for artistes’ works themselves,” he said.
Dada disclosed that the AFRIMA jury would screen the nominees from August 2 to August 16, 2016 at the end of submissions. The full list of nominees will be announced on August 17, 2016.
