Zzina Awards 2017: Here’s the full list of nominees

By Our Reporter

The Zzina Awards 2017 nominees have been announced. The nominees were announced on Friday evening at a ceremony held at the Galaxy FM offices in Kansanga.

Speaking at the ceremony, Galaxy FM CEO Innocent Nahabwe emphasized that the artistes are nominated entirely on merit and the fans will decide the ultimate winners in the different categories.

“In the last three years we have held our awards, we have not had any controversy trailing them. We believe the reason for this is because our awards are determined by the Galaxy FM listeners themselves,” Innocent Nahabwe noted.

“The artistes recognised are those nominated and voted for by Galaxy FM listeners. So  all you will see is the urban, youthful entertainment talent being recognised. These awards are purely about the votes and the nomination list comes from the nominations done via our Facebook and SMS platforms for the last one month,” he added.

Artistes will be voted for via the Galaxy FM Facebook page, Website(www.galaxyfm.co.ug) and USSD code (*289*6#).

The winners will be announced at a ceremony slated for Friday, 7th April at Theatre La’Bonita.
