and the “MTV Base Leadership Award”. The “MTV Base Leadership Award” is
awarded to a young African man or woman under the age of 40 who is inspiring
young Africans by their leadership and extraordinary achievement in a prominent
field (including but not limited to: the arts, business, politics, science,
entrepreneurship and charitable work). “Personality of the Year”
recognises personalities and achievers active outside of the music space who
are excelling in their chosen field and who are representing Africa in a
positive light, both at home and abroad, in disciplines such as comedy, fashion
literature and sport. "Transform Today by Absolut", which forms
part of ABSOLUT's Transform Today campaign, is aimed at
celebrating the power of young individuals who transform the image of Africa
through their creativity and vision.
