Africa Top Success has just reported it to you that registrations for the edition 2015 for Kora, the greatest award evening for artists of Africa, are opened and continue until 15th July 2015. One of the innovations of this year is that the reward of the « Best African Artist of the Year » is increased to one million USD.
All in all, 29 categories are planned for the event which finale will be held on 13th December 2015 in Windhoek, (Namibia).
As a reminder, only the best from the regional phases (the East, the West, the South, the North, and the Central) will be eligible in the category of the Best African Artist of the Year.
The steering committee has finally indicated that only the prize-winners present at the ceremony of KORA will receive their prizes cash. Absentees will get their trophies later.
