The Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA) is inviting and encouraging musicians to submit entries for the #SAMA29 Special Awards Nominations – Lifetime and International Achievement Awards –before the closing date of Friday, 22 September 2023.
From 11 August 2023, submissions have been underway to recognize accomplishments in the South African recording industry to honour and celebrate those who have significantly contributed to the development, upliftment, and advancement of the local music industry over the last 20 years at least, as well as being ambassadors of South African music to the world.
“We are thrilled to pay homage to living South African music legends and also recognising artists who are current carriers of our flag with their local and international footprints”, says RiSA CEO Nhlanhla Sibisi. He adds: “It’s very important to us as the industry to give our artists their well-deserved “flowers” while they’re still alive. Last year Black Coffee, Joe Nina, Jimmy Dludlu and McCoy Mrubata were honoured, and we’re looking forward to seeing which legends #SAMA29 will bring on.”
Musicians can submit their entries to the #SAMA29 Administrator at info@samusicawards.co.za. For more information, visit the #SAMA29 website on www.samusicawards.co.za. It is worth noting that previous SAMA Lifetime Achievement Award winners may not be entered or nominated again.
