The International Committee of the All Africa Music Awards, AFRIMA has received the 23.9-Karat gold plated trophy on Friday in Lagos.
The coveted trophy was received by Rikki Stein, AFRIMA International Advisor.
The trophy, which was produced by an award trophy making company ‘Awards4u’ based in the United Kingdom, UK, was conceived and visualised by Mike Dada, AFRIMA executive producer and designed by Ademola Tajudeen, the Assistant Artistic Director of AFRIMA.
The award trophy is a blend of traditional and contemporary elements of music, the African Djembe drum and a microphone.
It went through series of technical processes for it to be realised. The first stage was the creation of a clay model of the trophy followed by moulds creation from which resin model was made.
After producing this, it was cleaned, smoothened and prepared for copper plating, polishing and finally deepened into 23.9-karat gold molten (hardened with nickel) with 99.58% gold concentration.
When this process was completed, the trophy was then mounted on a base and information plate was inscribed.
