THE HEADIES TO HOLD ON MARCH 24, 2018. FOUR NEW CATEGORIES ADDED.
Nigeria’s most authentic Awards for pop music and urbane culture, The
Headies, will roll out the carpet in honour of musicians, performers,
producers, writers, and other professionals who did well in year 2017 on
March 24, 2018.
The Headies held annually in March for many years since inception in
2006, before the committee moved the event to the last quarter of every
year.
Now, according to The Executive Producer Ayo Animashaun, Nigeria’s
longest-running music honours event will return to Quarter 1, as well as
add new categories to reflect the realities of today’s music and
entertainment industry. This year, the year-in-review has also been
reviewed to adequately accommodate more music materials released between
July 2016 to December 2017. Subsequently, the year in review will be
January to December of each year.
Based on the studied schedule of releases, and the availability of
talents, the Committee has decided the best period to host our Awards is
now March. 'We want our nominees, artistes, entertainment industry
practitioners and enthusiasts' to have an amazing time and music fans
to have even more fun. This is why we have taken every decision; from
the new date, choice of venue, categories, and so on’, said Animashaun,
who is also the founder of Hip TV.
The four new categories are Headies Viewer’s Choice, Industry Brand
Supporter, Best Performer, and Best Song Writer of the year. The
Viewers’ choice prize will give full power to fans through a voting
system that lets them decide absolutely; the Brand Supporter Award will
recognize brands who are supporting the industry at a time when
opportunities are scarce; the Best Performer will reward the Artistes
whose stagecraft, showmanship and performance routines are exceptionally
conceptualized and executed; while the Best Song Writer finally brings
to the forefront the talents who compose the lyrics and melodies for the
songs we celebrate.
The Headies will now have 24 categories of awards, with each winner
receiving 21 carat gold-plated Plaque, and the stamp of excellence from
one of Africa’s most respected music awards.
