Meanwhile, Malawi Sounds (MASO) Enterprise on Monday unveiled nominees for this year’s MASO awards slated for November 26.
This was disclosed at a press briefing in Blantyre by MASO Awards director, Augustine Mukisi, said the recognition is aimed at promoting youth empowerment in the country through arts.

“We have 30 categories and among them 20 are musical while 10 are non-musical,” he said. “This year, we have included non-musical categories to show appreciation to other arts sectors which are usually neglected when other artists are being awarded for their contribution to the industry.
“Some of the non-musical categories are photographer of the year, graphic designer of the year, actor of the year and visual artist of the year, just to mention a few. Voting will commence on Tuesday through a voting link which is yet to be made available.”
Apart from unveiling the nominees, Mukisi disclosed that Amaryllis Hotel and Chisurija Transport Services (CTS) were the official partners and sponsors for this year’s awards, saying both demonstrated interest in promoting youth empowerment and arts in the country.

Amaryllis Hotel Manager, Ramy Waheed said they have entered into an agreement with MASO Awards because they share a common vision of promoting arts.
“Amaryllis Hotel is supporting and always behind everything related to culture and arts in Malawi,” Waheed said. “This partnership is a good development because we will be able to appreciate efforts of all the artists doing work that can put the country on the map.”
He added that their aim is to scale up the awards to another level, saying the ceremony will be organised in a big and luxurious style, which will attract local and international attention.
In her remarks, Chisurija Transport Services managing director, Jacqueline Bokosi said the company believes in empowering the youth, who comprise half of the country’s population — making them key to development.
