MBABANE-Swazi Boy TV has released the top 10 creatives of each for this year’s category for the upcoming Creators Awards.
This year’s Eswatini Creative Awards will have 23 categories. It’s worth mentioning that last year there were 30 categories; this was done to ensure inclusivity.
When reached for comment, Swazi Boy Public Relations Officer (PRO) Nokwanda Sibandze said that the date and venue for this year’s awards will be revealed at a later date. It’s worth mentioning that last year’s awards were held at Happy Valley on December 4.
“We are happy to announce the top 10 creatives from each category. The next voting phase will begin soon, where we will post pictures of each creative, and likes will count as votes. The creatives with the most votes will then make it to the top five.”
Sibandze went on to say they have noted an incredible response from emaSwati, and they would like to thank everyone who commented, shared, and liked their posts, as well as, of course, those who nominated their favourites’. “We were also amazed by the nominees, who are as excited as we are to participate in the awards. The feedback was truly overwhelming, and we hope that the momentum will grow from here on. We are truly excited for the awards, and we hope that everyone else is as well,” shared the PRO.
The rule book for the awards was released earlier this month. In a previous interview, the PRO She encouraged emaSwati to vote for deserving candidates to ensure the quality of Eswatini’s creatives.” She went on to advise that emaSwati should read the rules and captions before voting.
The SMA’s are crafted to bring unity and fun times to the Kingdom through the social media platforms used on a daily basis. The main purpose is to empower, support, appreciate, and build the creative industry in the kingdom.
She further said the awards also seek to create a new wave of models and influencers while improving the value of existing brands. “By the end of the awards, we shall have a pool of brands who shall be capacitated to be leaders in the creative space,” said the PRO.
It is worth mentioning that the winner will be announced live at the awards ceremony, which will be announced in due course. Only the CEO’s Award will be voted for. This one will be chosen by the CEO of Swazi Boy Entertainment as the most deserving organisation or individual who has played a huge role in the arts.
