The 5th Edition Of The Mwafaka Awards Are Here
The 2013 Mwafaka awards are here.
The 5th edition of the prestigious gospel award show aims to award Christian individuals that have excelled in their various talents & careers and to to create mentors that the youth can look up to as role models. It comes hot on the heels of the much-publicised Groove Awards which even President Uhuru Kenyatta attended. Mwafaka awards organiser Arthur K. has been an open critic of the Groove Awards, stating on social media that they had devolved into more of a hype engine rather than the Christian celebration it is meant to be.
How will the Mwafaka awards be better and different? Well, they will be based on:
- song video plays on local television and radio stations in the country
- fan interactions on music including albums sales downloads and radio and TV airplay
- tracked all year long by a panel of judges and data collections partners on tracking period of June 2012 to June 2013
This is unlike the Groove Awards, which is based on a popularity contest.
