Why Mixta Marquez’s Article Is Not Eligible for a Headies Award

Mixta Marquez’s article, “Letter to Upcoming Artists,” may offer useful mentorship for emerging musicians, but it is not eligible for a Headies Award nomination. The Headies recognises music recordings, performances, albums, videos and direct contributions to music production, not written articles or music journalism. For the 18th Headies Awards, eligible entries include songs, EPs, albums and music videos released between 1 August 2024 and 30 April 2026. Entries are open to artists, labels, producers, management teams and other music-industry stakeholders, with submissions due by 31 July 2026. The Headies, founded in Lagos in 2006, remains one of Nigeria’s leading music awards. Its categories have helped spotlight major artists and music professionals, but published advisory or commentary pieces must seek recognition through media or literary platforms instead.
