MTV Base recently announced the return of the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) which will be held on February 20, 2021, in Kampala, Uganda.
Along with highly contended categories like Best Male and Female artiste and Artist of the year award, and thirteen other categories, the organizers are also introducing four new categories for the first time ever. This includes the Best Fan Base Category.
The Best Fan Base Category is MTV Base’s way of celebrating loyal fans who have been the backbone to Africa’s biggest acts.
The other new categories are the MAMA Generation Change award, Alone Together Best Lockdown Performance, to celebrate and reflect on the unique reality of the music industry in 2020, and Best Ugandan Artiste as a nod to amazing talents in the host country.
The nominees for the category as well as Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best International Act, Personality of the Year, and Best Alternative Act will be announced on the 5th of January 2021.
