Hi5 Empire, the organizers of Eastern Music Awards have successfully unveiled nominations for their 2022 edition.
The Eastern Music Awards which is in its 6th year saw lots of artistes and music related people grouped in 30 categories this year.
The highlight of the groupings includes:

Eastside Song of the Year to focus on artistes solely based in the Eastern Region doing music.
Artiste of the Year, which will be the Prime award for the Night.
Best music video director of the Year to honor the Best visual artiste on the night.
