After a rigorous verification exercise that lasted for a couple of weeks, here is the authentic list of nominees for the Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards (NBMA) 2015.
While VOTING is expected to start on Saturday, January 30th, 2016, it will last for three weeks. Voting format is via SMS Shortcode system and on our Website www.nigerianbroadcastersmeritawards.com  (Details soon)  

Due to introduction of an SMS Shortcode system for voting, votes will take the lion’s share of 60 per cent, while research, survey and agency reports are responsible for 40 per cent of the final result. Moreover, in the special Listeners and Viewers choice categories, votes will take the sole responsibility for 90 per cent of the total tally.

We wish all the nominees best of luck, as we look forward to their presence at the 6th Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards ceremony on Saturday 27th, February at Barcelona Hotel, Wuse 2, Abuja and Nominees’ Party to be held in Ibadan on Saturday 30th January, 2016, at Mauve Lounge, Ring Road, Ibadan

Please note, award plaque won’t be given in absentia and not redeemable after the event, hence your representative is expected at the award ceremony.

Terms and Conditions
1. Nominees (winners) are allowed to contest (in a category) only once every three years – the reason why some popular names are missing on this year’s list of nominees. Many of them have won previously in the recent past. It is our hope that this will inspire others to strive for perfection, and therefore recognition.
2. Due to the likely introduction of an SMS Short code system for voting (Still pending) votes will take the lion’s share of 60 per cent, while research, survey and agency reports are responsible for 40 per cent of the final result.
3. However, in the special Listeners and Viewers choice categories, votes will take the sole responsibility for 90 per cent of the total tally.
