First staged in 2013, the Club Music Video Awards (CMVAs) is back. The awards broke ground as the first and only music video awards in the country.
The CMVAs 2016 will celebrate Ugandan talent across 15 award categories. The nominations for the awards will be revealed on 9 February 2017 and the awards ceremony held in March.
Speaking about the awards, John Katete, Brand manager, Club Pilsener said, “As a vibrant and influential brand, Club Pilsener forms a brilliant backdrop to the MVAs, simply because we encourage individuality and Ugandan artists each have their own ‘cool’ and this is shown in their videos, we are glad to be part of this recognition.”
The CMVAs recognized the talent of musicians, achievers and personalities from across Uganda, rewarding iconic artists and game-changers such as Amaru, Navio, GNL Zamba, Kino Musoke, Radio and Weasel and many more.
The two-month long campaign entails submission of entries, nominations, judging, voting and will culminate into the main event.
The MVAs will engage a panel of judges, both local and international, and technical analysts with a wealth of experience in music and video production in Uganda, Africa and the world over.
To ensure that the awards ceremony lives up to excellence, Club Pilsener has once again partnered with ROCKSTAR4000, who have created and executive produced over 920 events across 5 continents including the first edition of the CMVAs.
Independent audit firm, Alexander Forbes is the official auditor of the Club Music Video Awards.
