MTV Shuga Wins a WorldMediaFestival 2016 Gold Award

We’ve done it again, Shugafam! We’ve only just bagged our third WorldMediaFestival Gold Award, for our outstanding drama, MTV Shuga.

After receiving the coveted award for series one and three, in 2010 and 2014, the latest MTVShuga series has struck gold once more for its commitment to edutainment.

Judged by industry experts the WorldMediaFestival recognizes true excellence in modern media communication. The 2016 awards entries were critiqued for writing, sound, editing, creativity, visuals, insights, and above all the extent to which the programme meets its stated goals and communicates with its intended audience.

The 2nd series of MTV Shuga Naija was directed by Biyi Bandele and features Ikubese Emmanuel Ifeanyichukwu, Nick Mutuma, Dorcas Shola Fapson, Sharon Ezeamaka, Timini Egbuson, Olumide Oworu, Chris Attoh, Zoe Favour, Mohau Mokoatle, Ifeanyi Dike Jr, Jemima Osunde and Peace Hyde.

Nigerian musicians, Patoranking, Eva Alordiah, and MI Abaga, also made cameo appearances in the series. The award ceremony will be held on May 11th, in Hamburg, where we could possibly win another award on the night. Wish us luck, fam!
