The Christian Legendary and Impact Makers Awards (CLIMA Africa) has nominated Chidinma, Mercy Chinwo, Sinach and other respected gospel musicians on the continent of Africa, and in diaspora for its upcoming 2022 edition.

The apex of gospel music awards in Africa, CLIMA Africa Awards, dazed the gospel music artists and the entire industry with eight (11) new categories.

This year, with the Awards expanding outside the shores of Nigeria to the other parts of Africa for the second time, it has also expanded its scope of nominations to include more African regions and Christian Impact Makers, Artists, Managers, and other arms of the gospel music industry. This has increased the number of award categories from 28 to 39.

According to Uwak Mike, the CEO of CLIMA AFRICA Magazines and Awards; “The 2022 edition promises to be the best of all editions; because the collaborations with partners from other African Countries will enable us reach more Impact makers and Artiste whom we couldn’t reach in the past. Moreover, the introduction of New Categories to celebrate Producers, Managers, Stage Performers, Gospel music legends etc. is also a boost on our profile”.

The theme for the 6th edition (EKO 2022) is AFRICA IS RISING. This is a clarion call to arise and take our position as the best gospel music industry globally. A call to see gospel artists unite, with one mind, heart, soul and spirit till we capture the world with our God-given talents for God.
