After 3 months of rigorous judging and voting, The Future Awards has finally released its final list five days to the 2011 edition of the awards!
The judging process has gone through a Board of Judges, public voting, an Independent Audit Committee, and back to the Board of Judges – accompanied by the exciting three-month activation of its #IamNigeria campaign.
The campaign has seen the Official Launch of its sixth season in October (which commemorated Nigeria’s 50th independence anniversary by presenting 50 young Nigerians as the Face of the Future), the October/November Town Hall Meetings across the nation and in South Africa and the United Kingdom, the Nominees Reception for Charity in December, and the Get Your Green On! style campaign.
The finalists are mostly three per category and the winner will be unveiled at The Future Awards 2011, which holds on Sunday, January 30 2011 at the Landmark Village, Victoria Island, Lagos. It’s a strictly by invitation event for 1000 exclusive guests, and the Keynote Speaker is Minister for Finance and former Managing Director of Goldman Sachs, Olusegun Aganga.
The event is supported by Access Bank, HiTV, Virgin Atlantic, and the Miccom Golf Resorts. Official Media Partners are Y! (www.ynaija.com), Wazobia FM and Cool FM.
