Ghana Music Awards: Anniversary launch, unveiling of nominees on 28 March
The event will see the official announcement of nominees as well as the headline sponsor for this year’s event following the sale of Telecel, which has been sponsoring the awards scheme for over a decade
Charterhouse, organisers of annual the Ghana Music Awards, is expected to launch the 25th anniversary of the awards scheme at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on Thursday, 28 March.
The event will also see the official announcement of nominees as well as the headline sponsor for this year’s event following the sale of Telecel, which has been sponsoring the awards scheme for over a decade.
The Ghana Music Awards have grown to become the biggest and most prestigious event on the Ghanaian entertainment scene.
Since 2000, the awards scheme has become the pivot on which the music industry spins. The objective has been simple; to identify, recognise and reward outstanding achievements in the music industry.
The scheme is made up an academy, which is made up of DJs, presenters, producers and the like; a board, made up of industry experts; and the general public. For 24 years, the scheme has held the Music, the people and the culture of Ghana. The 25th anniversary launch will have in attendance key industry players, the media, musicians and music makers on Thursday, 28th March 2024.
Unveiling of nominees
Since the submission deadline, the board, research team, and GMA secretariat have been diligently reviewing the works from 2023. This process involves meticulous listening, reviews, and extensive analysis of data, lyrics, and production quality.
It is a moment of excitement and anticipation, as artists and their fans eagerly hope to see their names among the chosen few. The nominees represent the best of the best in the various music categories in the industry.
The Twist; Unlike previous years where a bulk of the categories are unveiled on the hour by the hour during the day, the 25th anniversary takes a different trajectory. All categories will be unveiled at the event. Who makes it to what category? Which artiste makes history? All these will be answered on Thursday, 28th March.
Announcement of new headline sponsor
For a few years into the 25th Anniversary, Vodafone Ghana has been the title sponsor of the Ghana Music Awards, hence the name Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
It comes as no surprise that conversations have sparked following the recent announcement of the name change from Vodafone to Telecel.
The question being asked by industry players is ‘how does the name change affect the Ghana Music Awards? Is there a new title sponsor? What will it be called now? The Sponsor announcement is set to made on Thursday, 28th March, 2024.
The event will witness thrilling performances from some of the finest Ghanaian musicians.
