This year’s Lux Style Awards (LSA) controversy is that it reportedly did not nominate a single female singer among the 82 nominations. After protests by several prominent female singers, the LSA has decided to extend the deadline for the submission of portfolios.<\/p>\n

The LSA shared an Insagram post on Sunday, announcing the extended deadline and clearing the air.<\/p>\n

The post read:<\/p>\n

Since any entries from female artists for the music categories were not received within the submission deadline, unfortunately, the categories were not representative of the great work done in music by our female musicians. However, as an inclusive platform, we realize this gap and regret that the music categories did not reflect the remarkable efforts of our female artists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To address the issue, the LSA has decided to extend the last date for the submission of female, transgender, and male artists across all categories.<\/p>\n

The statement further added that they encourage the brilliant female musicians who have entertained the nation throughout the year to submit their entries for consideration.<\/p>\n

Meesha Shafi<\/a> was the first one to take notice and stand up for the seeming gender discrimination and was seconded by Zeb Bangash. After them, Momina Mustehsan also took a stand for her fellow artists and called the LSA out for completely ignoring every contemporary female contributor in Pakistani music.<\/p>\n

Many other female singers such as Maria Una, Rachel Viccaji, Natasha Noorani, Risham Faiz Bhutta, Eva B, Rutaba Yaqub, Natasha Baig, and Nimra Rafiq reposted the protest on their Instagram stories in a show of camaraderie to shame the LSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
