Here Is What He Wrote;

” The current awards program has provided a solid foundation over the past five years, but to keep it vibrant and engaging,it’s crucial to introduce new ideas. Relying on the same arrangements can lead to diminishing interest among artists and audiences.I recommend a thorough review of past awards to identify successful elements and areas for improvement.This evaluation can help pinpoint what resonates with participants and what changes could reinvigorate the event.

One significant opportunity lies in appreciating and motivating upcoming artists.By introducing categories specifically for new talent,the awards can foster a supportive environment that encourages participation from emerging musicians.This not only recognizes their contributions but also helps build a stronger music community.Engaging with local artists to understand their challenges and aspirations can further tailor the awards to meet their needs and enhance their experience.

Additionally,while maintaining affordable entry fees is important,considering a pricing strategy that reflects the value of the awards could provide necessary funding for improvements.This could involve gradually increasing entry fees or exploring sponsorship opportunities to enhance the overall quality of the event.Being transparent about how these funds will benefit participants will help build trust and support within the community.

Finally,creating initiatives to celebrate local music can deepen the connection with the community. Hosting workshops,mentorship programs,or showcases alongside the awards can provide valuable opportunities for upcoming artists to gain exposure and support.By implementing these changes,the awards can become a dynamic platform that not only honors established artists but also nurtures the next generation of talent in Zambia’s music scene.
