Public to decide winners in first Iyanola Performing Arts Awards

Saint Lucian music and entertainment figures will be recognised at the inaugural Iyanola Awards, an online show created to highlight individuals who have made a significant impact on popular culture over the past year.The original idea was born from the vision of members of the music and entertainment industry, who wanted to recognise their peers for their work within a given year. Over time, this idea evolved into a full-fledged awards ceremony, according to Sedale Simei, internationally recognised Saint Lucian artist and key figure behind the Iyanola Awards.
