Innovations ...

The method of nominating candidates is based on several criteria according to François Akouabou, member of the Académie des Sotigui. It is about the credibility of the actor in the role which he interprets, the capacity and the quality of conversation of the actor as well as the quality of the acting which is in reality the interpretation.

According to the president of the Académie des Sotigui, Kévin Moné, several innovations will occur during this 6th edition. It will above all be a question for the Sotigui to launch a social network specially dedicated to cinema professionals. “The major innovation is Mov-Up, the professional network that we are going to set up so that actors, directors and filmmakers can meet on this platform to interact,” he declared. In addition, this year, the Sotigui Awards will have a guest country of honor which is Gabon. It is also planned to organize an “AFTER SOTIGUI” with the movie stars just after the closing ceremony. This evening will be open to the public according to Kévin Moné. And like the previous edition, during this 6he edition of the Sotigui Awards, the Hashtag concept `` WE DRESS WE AFRICAINS '' will once again be launched and participants and audiences will be recommended to dress in a traditional way in order to enhance African culture.
