Organisers of Wale Olomu Memorial Awards have called for nominations for its maiden edition, which comes up between 9 and 23 December, 2023 on a two-hour long radio show (via TopRadio 90.9 FM).

The Co-Ordinator of the awards event, Mr Femi Akintunde Johnson aka FAJ, said in a statement, which was made available to the media, that the well-considered nominees are for two main categories: Special Recognition Awards (SRA) and Lifetime Achievement (LAA) Awards.
“Now, we get to the business end of this assignment: Nominations of credible, worthy and inspirational potential recipients of the maiden Wale Olomu Memorial Awards (WOMA).
“Neither category is competitive, nor subjected to voting and regular selection processes.
“However, a Steering Committee shall be set up to review the credentials and pedigrees of nominated personalities, and thereafter identify and present a worthy candidate for each category,” he said.
The accomplished journalist said further that the Steering Committee would be encouraged to also carefully exercise their judgement, exposure and affinity with Nigerian entertainment.
According to him, there are only two qualifying criteria, one is that “the SRA nominees shall be people of immense and aspirational talent, creativity and outstanding contributions to any area of the Nigerian music industry in any of the understated categories – meaning people who have been avid practitioners for at least 10 years; while 35 years and above for the LAA.”
The second, he said, “is that wherever they may be in the world does not matter, simply let them be bonafide Nigerians.”
The following were listed as the tentative categories for  nominations;
Music Producers, Sound Engineers, Studio Managers, Music Video Editors, Artiste Managers and Band Managers.
Others are Live Show Photographers, Set Designers, Session Men, Backup Vocalists, Percussionists, Disc/Vid Jockeys and Hype Men/Women.
He however, added that the list is not exhausted and that “the exercise will remain open for your esteemed nominations and contributions until the last minute of Friday, the 3rd day of November 2023.
“Interested, committed, experienced and reputable volunteers can DM me (or by other private means) to join the small-sized Steering Committee. Eventual invitation would be at the discretion of the coordinator.”
