The Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA), is a prestigious award show that celebrates the diverse forms of art in the Nigeria and all across Africa. There are slots in this award show, for various forms of artists contributing to the growth of the entertainment industry in the country and beyond. Nominations for comedians, TV stars, movie actors, musicians, radio hosts and even DJ’s.
Getting a nomination for an award show that is not exclusive to a particular form of art can only mean that you are one of the best in what you do. Basically, the NEA selects the best artists void of category and genres, you have to be one of the absolute best, in your field, without question to earn a spot on this list. The NEA, uses a best of five or sometimes six, system where they select five or six of the best artist in a particular field, as nominees.
