Addressing these present stakeholders during the launch, Chairman of ECEA,TahiduAbdulJalil Prince said this scheme is out to promote, award & motivate entertainers in the side to keep doing the great works they have been putting in for years.
According to him, there are so many talented entertainers in the Eastern Corridor who have produced great works that are been ignored in other award schemes in Accra or Tamale, henceforth another reason for this initiative.

Mr Nuhu Osman Tizei Naa urged all entertainers and managers to embraced and support this as their very own because they as veterans of entertainers couldn’t get opportunities like this.
Chief Tuzei Naa also pleaded on the organizers to be fair enough for the successful of the scheme.

Organizers highlighted that the board who are chosen from various sectors of the Eastern Corridor are 9 members and owns only 30% of the judgement and the public voting owes 70%.
