2021
Date: December 10, 2021
Venue: Mestil Hotel, Nsambya + Virtual Audience
Theme: #LevelOneProject
Season: 10
The much-awaited 10th Edition of the HiPipo Music Awards are upon us. On 10th December, 2021, at Mestil Hotel, there will be celebration and enjoyment that will go down in the ages as some of the best ever!
HiPipo is proud to keep going from strength-to-strength; we have learnt a lot over time, starting from the first awards event, which was an online virtual experience, held in May 2012.
We keep refining and redefining our processes, and thus how we nominate, vote and select winners is continually fine-tuned. This’ because we never forget that it is your right to have presented to you for consideration only the best, the proverbial crème de la crème.
And so, here they are, the nominees for the 10th HiPipo Music Awards. With their voices and their dancing they have entertained and enthralled you, and made what has been a fairly trying time for all a little better. They are the pride of their countries and communities, and come from all over the continent. Theirs are exclusive talents, but what they do is fantastically inclusive, something for all of us to savour and enjoy. Special mention goes out to the lady nominees; what they do is particularly empowering and impactful.
They are all winners. But now has come the time for you to choose the best of the best. Happy voting!
