Impact Gospel Awards has finally unveiled the nominees for this year’s annual awards.
The Hifadhi Talanta Africa (HTA), Impact Gospel Awards is a Kenyan based Gospel Awards scheme whose main agenda is to recognize and award gifted individuals and groups who are impacting and transforming the world through Creativity, Integrity, Inspiration, and Excellence in the gospel fraternity, mainly in Media, Arts, Entertainment and Ministry.
Impact Gospel Awards is an Academy awards scheme, not a popular awards scheme.
The Five Key Pillars considered when nominating and awarding winners include Integrity, Inspiration, Excellence, Creativity, and Impact.
After public nominations, a Craft Committee of 15 (Industry players) comes up with the nomination list that is handed over to an Academy Board of 15 members who choose the winners. Both processes are solely pegged on the FIVE pillars.
The Nominees for the second annual Impact Gospel Awards were officially unveiled on 10th November, 4 pm on hifadhitalanta.com
The Gala event will be held on Saturday 27th November 2021, at 3.30 pm at CITAM Valley Road.
