After a brief hiatus, the popular 'Social Media Entertainment Awards (SOMEA)' will be returning with more nominees' categories.

According to the Founder Kofi Mulan, due to the ever-changing technological environment, on which Social Media is based, SOMEA needed an upgrade to be able to accumulate new and more exciting additions in the social media space.

He added that SOMEA will also be widening their audience to include Europe very soon. He revealed this yesterday via a phone interview from Accra.

Assuring the public about improvements in the 'Social Media Entertainment Awards', the Founder and Organizer Kofi Mulan, stated that SOMEA will no longer just be limited to Ghana, but will have some editions hosted in Europe.

"We are taking SOMEA to the next level. We have received many messages from both Ghanaians and foreigners who want to be part of SOMEA. So, why limit it when the demand is there?

"This might even grow to become a global awards scheme... So, we will bounce back, but this time, starting from Europe... I'm so excited and can't wait to see the response from the international audience", he said.

Kofi Mulan has championed the need for celebrating young achievers in Ghana through many awards.

He is known as one of the early initiators of an award scheme for mainly young but promising persons in Ghana.

He has organized many successful youth-oriented events with popular Ghanaian celebrities and high-profile personalities in attendance, namely the actor Van Vicker, Prince David Osei, AMVCA Winner Gloria Sarfo, Ghana Music Award-winning artiste 'Epixode', Big Brother Housemate Selly Galley, Habiba Sinare, Selassie Ibrahim, Fiifi Coleman, Toosweet Annan, Tracey Boakye, a Member of Parliament for Okaikwei North, and a former Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection to name a few.
