Club music video award organisers receive over 600 videos

Perhaps when the organisers of the Club music video awards came up with this idea, they never really expected to receive many videos shot between last year and now. 
 
But guess what, while they expected at least 300 music videos from artistes, they were overwhelmed to find on their desks over 600 videos from various local artistes. 
 
That’s how serious our artistes have taken to this novelty, the first of its kind here.
 
The deadline for submissions was last Monday, and according to Club brand manager Samuel Hooper, it’s going to be an uphill task for the panel of judges, led by Leslie ‘Lee’ Kasumba, a Ugandan, and manager of Channel O Africa. 
 
The judges will have to identify the best nominees for the fourteen categories in the awards to be held on September 20, this year.
 
Big shots who have submitted their videos include Jose Chameleone, GNL Zamba, Young Mulo,  Rema,  Cindy,  Bebe Cool and a host of other artistes.
 
That some of the highest entries are for the Best Directing and Best Cinematography could only be an indication of the expectations of the artistes and their producers. 
 
Organisers received least entries in the Female Video of the year and the Duo/Group of the year categories. May the best one win.
