Uganda’s longest-running awards The Buzz Teenz awards have today released the final nominations for this year’s awards Azawi leading with six nominations followed closely by Fik Fameica who has five nodes. The nominations have been ongoing for three weeks by the teenagers on the Buzz Teenz website. The top four or five (in some) categories with the most nominations have made it to the voting stage.
The biggest accolade, Teens artist of the year will be hotly contested between newcomer Liam Voice, Azawi, Fik Fameica, and Pallaso.
The Awards running for 15 straight years have stayed true to being the voice of the Teens. Sponsored by telecom giant Mtn under their youth flagship Pulse, the Buzz Teenz Awards will stream on December 19 online.
Notably, the awards continue to swing in changes every year, and this year they recognize more players in the digital space among other changes.
