The National President of ADMCA, Dr. Harris Chuma, explained in a statement issued on Sunday that this year’s edition will celebrate the creative excellence which has sprouted strongly even after the disruption of the system by COVID-19. He said: “The show must go on in spite of the odds posed by corona virus. It is essential that we continue to recognise the achievements around us. Recognition is a powerful way for our society to continue to move forward, even when it feels like it's at a standstill. And not only does it help society and our industry, it helps us as people. It feels good to be recognised for our hard work and contributions. It helps us stay positive, engaged, and motivated.”
