Behind the scenes of the **Oda Award** is a devoted team of cultural advocates, industry pros, and artistic visionaries. Organized by the Ethiopia Cultural Association or the like, the organizing committee of the Oda Award is committed to building an event that recognizes artistic merit and at the same time contributes something to the growth of the creative industries in Ethiopia. Driven by their passion for the arts, each member brings an exciting mix of skills and expertise to the table to ensure every detail contributes to the richness of Ethiopian heritage.
Everything, from the selection of nominees to red-carpet ceremonies, performances, and all other organizational aspects, is done with excellence. Organizers have tried to create an environment where an artist is treasured, valued, and dignified. In addition, the wider public is equally targeted for engagement, since organizers want all Ethiopians to feel proud of the accomplishments of their country folk.
It is not just about the ceremony alone. The team behind the Oda Award sees this as a long-term project: one that rewards talent but at the same time starts to build a sustainable future for Ethiopian arts and culture. In partnerships, community involvement, and educational outreach, organizers are creating the foundation for a creative ecosystem that will carry on and flourish for decades to come.
