The Crystal Awards unveils Nominee List for 2015.

 Crystal Awards is
here again and the Nominee Unveiling party took place yesterday at the Ivory
Health Club, Allen Avenue, Ikeja. This 2015 Edition is tagged “Third Year of
Inspiration”. The Nomination Committee tonight unveiled the final list of
nominees for the 2015 edition of the annual awards at a nomination party that
had several artistes and media practitioners present

The Crystal Awards is an annual ceremony honoring excellence
in the gospel music industry. Interestingly, this year, there would be no
voting, as the winners of all 25 categories will be selected by the committee
based on the agreed criteria. The major criteria for nominations this year is
the release date of the works, which MUST be between January 2014 and January
2015.

Artistes with the most nominations include Onos with 7
nominations, Glowreeyah Braimah (5), Frank Edwards (4) and Limoblaze 3.

A new category has also been added to the 24 categories of
last year’s list. This is the “Best Online Radio” category.

See the full list of nominees below. The official date of
the Crystal Awards night would be announced soon.
