The All African Music Awards (AFRIMA) have announced August 5, 2022 as the date for the closure of the entry submission portal.
This was revealed in a recent statement by AFRIMA’s International Committee reminding all artists, music professionals, and other relevant stakeholders within Africa and across the diaspora to submit their entries for the 2022 AFRIMA edition, before the portal closes on August 5, 2022.
“All prospective entries must have been created between August 20, 2021, and August 5, 2022, being the year in review for all submissions.” The statement read in part.

Also, AFRIMA Juror representing Diaspora Northern America, Hadja Kobele Keita said the award platform would not extend the submission date beyond August 5, 2022.
“It is important that all relevant parties submit their entries on time this year. We are a very thorough and transparent organisation, and we have a clear process for the award ceremony every year. Once the submission of entries ends, we spend time judging the materials, before we can derive our final nominations list.
‘‘We also have a specific time allotted to voting. The entire process is also audited by a firm of international repute, PricewaterhouseCoopers. We do not just wake up and nominate people. AFRIMA 2022 will be held from November 3 – 6 this year. To achieve this, we cannot extend deadlines at this point.”
