The Northern Uganda Music Awards (NUMA) recognized more than 28 different personalities in the Northern Uganda music industry.
The awards are held annually, recognizing and rewarding entertainment industry figures for their outstanding accomplishments. The awarding ceremony attracted a large number of fans and participants at Pece Stadium, where the ceremony took place.
The awards came with a bit of surprises as the favorites and big dogs in the music fraternity failed to win any awards. Artists like Polite Mosko, Pretty B, Allan Smokie, King Face, Patz Culture, Ozele, De Champion didn't win any.
The awarding ceremony took place on January 1st, 2024 and it was successfully held though it was seriously disturbed by the bad weather which started at around 6pm-10pm delaying the programme to kick start as it was planned.
The awards managed to show big strides with their wide coverage of different denominations in the entertainment industry.
However, in spite of the few glitches like the bad sound, and poor lighting, the big winners of the night were Pato Loverboy and Mixola who bagged up two two accolades each.
