The 2011 Nigerian Promoters Association summit and awards held in Atlanta, was hosted by Tracy O’bonna and Pascal Atuma, with great performances by North America based Nigerian entertainers, such as Oshine and Dking Rokan.
The Annual summit is an annual meeting of Entertainment Administrators such as; promoters, music producers, event planners, record label companies, Artiste managers, DEEJAYS, Entertainment media personalities, film producers, fashion designers, Arts, sports est. coming together to meet and deliberate thoroughly on how to better improve the standard of the Nigerian Arts and Entertainment industry as a one point agenda by the year 2015. In addition, it should be categorically noted therefore, that the Nigerian promoters Association is not politically oriented and will not give room to be politically influenced by any Nigerian politician or political party as the case may be.
The NPA 2011 event is planned to be bigger and better holding in Atlanta Georgia on SEPTEMBER 2ND-5TH respectively. The Arts and Entertainment Business Awards is to recognize, to celebrate and to further promote the Nigerian entertainment practitioners based in the United States of America. This way more talents will be discovered because of the competition it will definitely create. While the already discovered talents will also have reasons to do better and remain relevant in the industry.
Harriet, host of AMC’s Access Africa went home with the Best Media Personality Award.
