Liberian Entertainment Awards: Full list of winners

The award scheme, which began in 2009, was created to honour Liberian entertainers based in and outside the West African country.

“Liberian artists, actors/actresses, filmmakers, producers and community crusaders are not waiting for an award; they're waiting for an organisation that is committed to making the industry better," the organisers said. "To that end, we've taken a look at every part of the experience – from music and movie production to its distribution and marketing – and dedicated ourselves to constantly improving it”.

Among the winners this year was Bucky Raw, who was named Best Hipco Artist and Artist of the Year. Rapper Kobazie won the Song of the Year Award for his song 'Bounce'.
