LuxStyle Awards management has extended the deadline for portfolio submission following allegations of exclusion of Pakistani female music artists from the music category of the upcoming edition of the award show.
LSA’s official Instagram account shared a post on Sunday, announcing the extension deadline for portfolio submissions and clearing the air regarding the mishap.
“Since no entries from female artists for the music categories were received by the submission deadline, unfortunately, the categories were not representative of the great work our female musicians have done in music,” the post read.
“However, as an inclusive platform, we feel this gap and regret that the music categories do not reflect the remarkable efforts of our female artists.”
To address this issue, the LSA has taken exception to extending the submission deadline for female, transgender, and male artists in all categories.
The LSA statement added that they encourage outstanding female musicians who have entertained the nation throughout the year to submit their entries for consideration.
A few days ago, a popular Pakistani singer, Meesha Shafi took to her Instagram to demand the management of the award show not to include any female musicians in the upcoming LSA Music nominations.
