Ghana Music Awards Board begins categorization process

The months of April and May have over the past
sixteen years been months of music in Ghana as
the nation’s biggest music event, the Vodafone
Ghana Music Awards holds. The road to the event is
a rather long and exciting one filled with reviews of
submitted works, meetings to categorize and
shortlisting of songs submitted based on the
calendar year starting 1st January 2014 and ending
31st December. Hundreds of artistes have so far
submitted their works and over the weekend the
2015 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards board met for
the first time to start work.
The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Board is a
group of carefully selected persons who have an in
depth knowledge and experience in the Ghana
music industry and beyond. Their main mandate as
stipulated by the organizers is to review and
categorize submitted works for voting by the Board,
Academy and the General Public.
Last year, power was given to the general public to
vote for their preferred artiste from the newly
created “unsung” category to have a chance to
perform on the night of the awards and already,
many ‘underground’ artistes are already eagerly
looking forward to the unsung category.
It’s the event music lovers wait for, it’s the event
artistes work hard for, it’s the event song writers
get creative for and it’s the event that awards
deserving hardworking artistes, it’s the VGMA’s
2015 and it has been set in motion.
The 16th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is ignited
by passion, Sponsored by Vodafone and STAR
BEER , powered by 25 million fans and Organized by
Charterhouse.
