The Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards are officially on! The organizing committee has released the official category list for the Awards that are scheduled to take place on 9th December, 2016.
There are a lot of changes. Aside from going continental, the search for the fashion talent on the globe has been stretched to as far as central, and Southern Africa.
Some of the categories did stick to the Ugandan audience, while others will be competed for on a regional level and others on a continental level.
The Abryanz Franchise CEO, Ahumuza Brian explains that the reason for the expansion was due to the demand from the other parts of Africa. Below is his statement.
“After the success of ASFA2015, we realized this is what Africa wanted. We felt there were so many people on the continent that didn’t get rewarded for their efforts. We constantly got emails from other individuals from other parts of Africa. We could have come up with more categories, but it’s hard to manage them if they are many.
We want to grow the brand to a continental franchise, and you can’t do that by restricting it to the East Africa only. We also want to export to the rest of the world what Uganda and Africa at large has to offer in regards to fashion and style.”
