Madise said they expect to raise the money through selling the event in various packages.

“We have four packages through which various stakeholders can partner us. These are platinum, gold, silver and bronze.

“The packages range from K20 million to K5 million in value. This is a big event and a platform that the corporate world should use to market their products. It will be better and bigger than last year,” he said.

Madise said they had already sent an invitation to president Lazarus Chakwera to grace the black-tie event.

“The nomination process for this edition will scrutinize the nominees to ensure that deserved people are nominated and recognized,” added Madise.

On his part, MNCS Chairperson for Marketing Gladson Kuyeri urged the corporate world to establish partnerships with the council.

The sports awards which were introduced in 2017 are aimed at recognizing outstanding athletes, sports administrators and institutions that have contributed to sports development.

This year, the winners at the event will receive a trophy and K700,000 prize money while second and third positions will get K150,000.
