The high point of the event was when the ‘Reloaded’ producer doled out N900,000 in cash prizes to winners of a short film contest, which she organised for students of her academy, Royal Arts Academy.
The first prize of N500,000 went to Smart Nsikan for the short film, ‘Two Chicks and a Dude.’ The second prize of N250,000 went to Ikechukwu Akanno for the short film, ‘Hot Soup.’ The third prize of N150,000 went to Onyeka Emechebe for the short film, ‘Our Girls.’
According to Emem Isong, the short film contest is part of her Spotlight Youth Empowerment Initiative, and it will be a yearly affair.
Guests at the classy event include top Nollywood stars like Desmond Elliott, Lancelot Imasuen, Susan Peters, Funlola Aofiyebi-Raimi among others.

it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and
see if the problem still exists.
