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 the awards is now
March.” …Nominees, artistes, entertainment industry practitioners and
enthusiasts’ will have an amazing time and music fans will have even more fun.
This is the reason for every decision taken, for the new date, choice of venue,
categories, and so on

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 that 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.
The Best Song Writer finally brings to the forefront the talents
who compose the lyrics and melodies for the songs we celebrate.
