PRESS RELEASE 23 February 2020 Harare
Star FM announces prize money for winners Winners of the just ended Star FM Music Awards in all categories will this week he receiving monetary prizes,the organisers have announced.
Malaysia based businessman Tawona Oswell Chipunza (Teemak) has partnered with Star FM to ensure that the artists receive a monetary prize.
“My goal in giving prize money is to acknowledge the efforts of the artists…we can never match what they themselves have invested in their careers but it is a tangible step in the right direction,” he said from Harare
The awards organisers have said that the main reason for the downscaling of the event was to channel some of the sponsorship towards prize money for the artists. “One of the key learning points from last year was the need to not only give recognition through a statuette but to give a financial reward —albeit a small one — in recognition of the artists efforts,” said a spokesperson.
Each category winner will receive a cash prize of USD300.
