The Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards has officially opened submissions for its 2025 edition, inviting Nigerian filmmakers to submit their works via its official FilmFreeway page.
Now in its 16th year, the annual ceremony continues to celebrate excellence in Nollywood by spotlighting a diverse range of voices and genres.
Eligible categories include Movie of the Year, Director of the Year, Most Promising Actor and Actress, Best Soundtrack, Best Short Film, Best Indigenous Film, among others.
According to the organizers, only films produced in Nigeria or by Nigerian filmmakers including those in the diaspora will be considered.
The 2025 BON Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place from November 29 to 30.
Founded in 2009, the BON Awards remains one of the longest-running recognitions dedicated solely to Nollywood. Last year’s edition honoured standout titles including “Jagun Jagun,” “Offshoot,” “Adire,” and “Out of Many.”
