The 3rd edition of the annual 3 Music Awards, though virtual, was nothing short of captivatingly unforgettable. This year, the 4th promises an even bigger and better experience.
The organisers, 3 Music Networks, have released the nomination list for the 2021 edition of the 3 Music Awards.

Worthy to note in this year’s list is the addition and renaming of some categories. The board, during its retreat for this fourth edition, approved the addition of three new categories and adaptation of a few others.
Thus, ‘EP of the Year’, ‘Best Alternative Song’ and ‘Emerging Woman of the Year’ were added as new categories. Whilst, ‘Music Man of the Year’ category was renamed Artiste (MVP) of the Year, and Best Rap Performance was modified to ‘Rapper of the Year’, now awarding consistent rap-based activities in a year rather than just a rap performance on a song.

Moreover, Artiste (MVP) of the Year was made the biggest award of the scheme now, while the Women’s Brunch will also have ‘Woman of the Year’ and ‘Emerging Woman of the Year’ as its topmost awards.
Date for the 4th annual 3 Music Awards 2021 is Saturday, 27th March 2021 at 8 pm. Prior to this, the Women’s Brunch comes off on 7th March to commemorate International Women’s Day.
