Coming this year when the region is still facing difficulties as a result of the ongoing anglophone crisis, the CEO and founder of Camraise Academy, says this has also affected the organization of this year's awards but Glory be to God.

“First of all I want to thank God because he has been giving us strength along with the preparation…we had a lot of disappointments as a team, at a particular point we wanted to stop but what kept us moving was these youth who have a burning talent in them”.

He continued that “ we are looking for a means to promote young Cameroonians who have a lot to show to the world. That was just the push….CAMACA normally holds in August but unfortunately, we had a lot of difficulties before August….with these many difficulties I think the motivation is more than the difficulties”. He intimated.
