ABOUT THE AWARDS
What are the Entertainment Achievement Awards?
The Entertainment Achievement Awards (EAA) is an awards scheme, which seeks to recognise, unearth, spotlight, encourage and celebrate entertainers and entertainment industry players, who have distinguished themselves in the practice of their Art and in their chosen fields of endeavour.
Launched in 2020, the scheme was created to recognise and award the talents, which make the industry worth the investment, and talents which are often not acknowledged by mainstream media, and awarding platforms.
The EAA focuses on showcasing creatives in Music, Sports, Writing & Poetry, Fashion, Comedy, Online Media, Photography and Film.
