-Terms and Conditions
-Nominees can only win once in three years, the reason names of some popular On-Air Personalities, TV and Radio programmes are missing on this year’s nominees list. They might have won in 2010 or 2011. We believe this will give room to others to be recognised.

-Unlike the previous editions, people can now vote online via our website (only) www.nigerianbroadcastersmeritawards.com/poll
However, votes take 40% while researches, survey and Agencies report take 60% of final result.
