Charterhouse Productions Limited has opened nominations for the 2018 edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) awards.
BEATWAVES gathered that all musical works produced and or released from January 1 to December 31, 2017 are expected to be presented to the awards academy for consideration in this year’s edition of the awards.
This will give artistes the opportunity for their musical works to be considered for nomination for the 19th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. Deadline for submission of entries, according to the awards organisers, is January 31, 2018.
In a statement issued and signed by the Head of Communications for Charterhouse, George Quaye, the organisers say the artistes and their managers can pick up nomination forms from the offices of Charterhouse Productions Limited, partner radio and TV stations or download from their website, ghanamusicawards.com.
The statement said, “Completed hand filled forms with copies of CDs, videos and promotional pictures should all be submitted to the offices of Charterhouse Productions Limited located at B824/10 Feo Eyeo Street, Industrial Area Accra, near TV Africa, not later than January 31, 2018.”
According to the statement, a press conference will soon be held in Accra to communicate new amendments to the scheme in the next few weeks.
The Ghana Music Awards Festival seeks to recognise the songs that have kept music lovers dancing as well as award the artistes, producers, recording labels and other industry professionals whose tireless efforts in the face of adverse financial and logistical challenges have kept the entertainment industry vibrant.
