In its second edition, the Anambra Media Excellence Award provides the platform to honour and recognise personalities and programmes that are positively influencing perceptions in the Anambra media landscape, largely noted as one of the most vibrant in Nigeria.

The event will hold on November 29, 2020 at the elegant Main Auditorium of Marble Arch Hotel, Awka, Anambra State, where awards will be up for grabs across platforms like radio, television and social media.

According to the National President of ADMCA, Dr. Harris Chuma, “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.”

The event will be capped with a gala night in the presence of celebrities from Nollywood, music, sports and politics.
