CHOCOLATE CITY LAUNCHES $1M CREATIVE FUND TO SUPPORT EMERGING TALENTS

Nigerian music and entertainment company Chocolate City has opened applications for its $1 million creative fund, aimed at supporting emerging talents and driving growth across Africa’s creative industry.

The initiative is designed to provide funding and opportunities for creatives working in areas such as music, film, fashion, technology, and other innovative fields. The company said the fund will help young creators access resources needed to develop their ideas and build sustainable careers.

Chocolate City said the programme reflects its commitment to nurturing the next generation of African creatives and strengthening the continent’s entertainment ecosystem.

Industry stakeholders said increased access to funding remains one of the biggest challenges facing young creatives, noting that initiatives like this can help bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.

They added that investments in the creative sector can contribute to job creation, economic growth, and the global visibility of African culture.

Chocolate City encouraged eligible creatives to apply, saying the fund will support innovative projects with the potential to make meaningful impact within the industry.
