NMVA 2011...and the Nominees Are.....

The 2011 nominees list for the Nigeria Music Video Awards  are finally out, with Darey and Jodie topping the list with four nominations each and followed closely by Goldie and Freestyle with three nominations. Other great contenders are Omawumi, Sammie Okposo, Dipp, T.I.V and Tipsy who all have two nominations.
For the first time since its inception, NMVA has included Best Southern Africa Video and Best Western Africa Video as new categories in this year’s award.
The awards organizers re-instated their commitment to transparency and as such are weary of all lobbyists warming them to stay at bay as only good videos will be duly rewarded.
In furtherance of the organizers believe for traditional values, this year’s event has been tagged ‘Celebrating Our Cultural Heritage.
The Federal Ministry of Tourism has endorsed the project as a viable national brand deserving all institutional and corporate sponsorship, also this year’s edition of the award will be hosted by the Lagos State Government.
