According to Afrima Juror, representing Diaspora Northern America, Hadja Kobele Keita, the award platform would not extend the submission date beyond 5 August.

“It is important that all relevant parties submit their entries on time this year. We are a very thorough and transparent organisation, and we have a clear process for the award ceremony every year. Once submission of entries ends, we spend time judging the materials before we can derive our final nominations list. We also have a specific time allotted to voting. The entire process is also audited by a firm of international repute, Pricewaterhousecoopers. We do not just wake up and nominate people. Afrima 2022 will be held from 3-6 November this year. To achieve this, we cannot extend deadlines at this point,” Keita said.
