| Introducing ECO Media News Awards |
|
We are committed to promoting Ugandan artists in the Diaspora. Despite having more resources than their counterparts back home, they are struggling to keep up and produce material that can compete favourably back home-although the should infact be setting the trend.
In playing our part in improving the quality of entertainment and inspire in our artists we are introducing the ECO Media News Awards in order to recognise excellence in entertainment. Being based in London, our awards will, for now, recognise UK-based entertainers. We will be recognising our musicians with two awards this year;
Artist of the Year Award:
This will be given to the artist that we feel has done more than others to better his career to inprove his profile as well as make more, better music.
Song of the Year Award:
We will recognise one song of good quality. This is not necessarily in terms of popularity as we believe there is great music out there that some artists have not quite given its due promotion.
We will be working with insiders in the Ugandan entertainment in UK to come up with nominees for the two categories whom we will then put to a public vote online to get the final winner.
ECO Media News's Abbey Boris Mugerwa says that "we re looking forward to making it an annual event that will in future see ECO Media News introducing more catagories which would also recognise Uganda entertainment personnel in other parts of Diaspora"
