As always, it’s the most anticipated list this year. The Future Awards, described by the World Bank as “The Nobel Prize for Young Africans”, after unveiling its spectacular Young Person of the Year nominees earlier this week, has now released the full nominees list for all 21 categories.
Atop the list are big names like Don Jazzy, Davido, Linda Ikeji amongst many others..
According to the organisers, voting takes only 50% of the second stage of judging, so winners are not selected by voting popularity – there is a 4-stage judging process involving a Board of Judges and an Independent Audit Committee.
There is also a one-week period for members of the public to make complaints about any of the nominees to the awards Central Working Committee (CWC).
All the nominees will be celebrated at a nominees reception party on Saturday, 4 August 2012 – where they will also be inducted into the elite The Future Alumni Network.
The Reception is also a yearly charity fund raiser – and this year, the event will be raising money for the Down Syndrome Association of Nigeria, a pioneering advocacy platform for children with Down’s Syndrome.
“Though there were remarkable difficulties in getting young leaders and entrepreneurs closer to 20 than 30, but we are excited to have yet arrived at an inspiring run-down of young Nigerians,” said Chude Jideonwo, who is executive Director of The Future Project.
