The YUMI FM PNG Musik Awards 2023 is back on and will be bigger than ever. That’s from the Content Director of YUMI FM, Tuluan Vitz, who stated that the event this time around will showcase and recognize the efforts of the most nominated music artists who have produced songs in the last two years; 2021 and 2022. Tuluan told PNG HAUSBUNG that this is because there has been no YUMI FM PNG Musik Awards hosted last year (2022) and this year they are doubling the awards, where two artists will be awarded for those respective last two years 2021 and 2022 under the ten categories: 1. Best New Artist of the Year 2. Artist of the Year 3. Song of the Year 4. Male Artist of the Year 5. Female Artist of the Year 6. Registered Artist of The Year (APRA) 7. Duo/ Group of the Year 8. Producer of the Year 9. Justin Kili Award 10. People’s Choice Song of the Year “It’s been two years since we had a Yumi FM PNG Musik Awards, and the last time we had a Musik Awards night which was aired Live on Radio in 2021. That was the year we recognized and awarded the most nominated artists who produced and released songs in 2020.” “It has also been four years since we had a public event which we are now bringing back this year.” In addition, Tuluan stated that the YUMI FM PNG Musik Awards was only aired twice Live on Radio in 2020 and 2021, recognizing artists from the previous years. This she said was after they stopped hosting the event as a public event due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. “So this year will be different. We will come back to showcase as a public event again and it will be much bigger due to us having to announce two winners each under the categories 2021 and 2022.” “We have been working tirelessly as a team to make sure we get everything done on time.” “Its hard work but I am looking forward for the night itself. It’s a big event so do come along and witness the show.” Tickets for the Yumi FM PNG Musik Awards are not out yet; but you can pre- book tickets now via the Total Events Company on phone numbers 323 0352 / 7373 8809.
