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. Also 4 new categories to reflect the realities of today’s music and entertainment industry has also been added. They are; 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 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. The Headies will now have 24 categories of awards, with each winner receiving a 21 carat gold-plated Plaque, and the stamp of excellence from one of Africa’s most respected music award organiser.
