MTN@10: THE ALBUM CALLS FOR ENTRIES

Lagos| Nigeria

Its official! MTN is looking for Thank You songs from Nigerians, that’ll express the company’s appreciation to the people of Nigeria for the partnership and growth of the last 10 years. Perhaps you can do it? How would you say it in a song?

It can be in any genre, it could be in English or pidgin or in any Nigerian language – all it needs to be is tuneful and catchy, and it must convey the immense gratitude that MTN feels for ten amazing years of partnership and growth! 10 songs will be selected from all the entries by the public and a panel of experts. The successful songs will be included in a special 10th year anniversary album to be released soon.

As if having your song heard all over Nigeria isn’t much of a promise, MTN Nigeria has also announced it will be giving away a total of 5 million naira to singers and musicians whose works make it to the official MTN@10 anniversary album.
