The most awaited journey to music’s biggest night in Ghana
began with a call for nominations which was
answered by musicians from sorts all genres and this obviously
paved the way for the Vodafone Ghana Music
Awards (VGMA) Board to commence sitting.
The Board had the tortuous task of reviewing
hundreds of entries, categorizing and shortlisting
them into the various categories to be awarded.
After many hours of Board deliberations and
numerous sittings, the 2015 VGMA Board has
completed its work and it’s ready to make public,
the nominees list for this year’s event.
The excitement and anxiety is building up, the wait
and the guess work of who will be nominated for
what and who will miss the train would be over in a
few days. The event is set to take place at the
plush La Palm Royal Beach Hotel this Friday 27
February.
The event, strictly by invitation, is a preview of what
to expect at the main event in terms of organization
and it will be attended by a tall list of A-List guests
who will comprise of the crème de la crème in the
entertainment industry, artistes and some hundred
fans of VGMA selected from various VGMA social
media activation.
The theme for this year’s VGMAs is ‘Ignited By
Passion’ which seeks to celebrate the passion and
love of the Event by the 25 million music fans in
Ghana who have remained faithful to the scheme
over the past sixteen years. This will be done by
involving them fully in all aspects of the Festival’s
activities starting from the launch and right through
to the main awards night. Selection will be mainly
done via social media.
This year’s event has seen some major changes
already, the inclusion of a Reggae/ Dancehall
Artiste of the year and the re-definition of the New
Artiste of the year as well as Music Video Directing
categories. Organizers maintain that these changes
have been made based on a general review of the
scheme consistent with its mantra of keeping the
scheme fresh and in synch with current trends.
According to the organisers, Charterhouse, this
year’s launch is a combined launch and Nominees
Party and if previous launches are anything to go
by, one can expect a classy red carpet event which
will preceded the actual program, a well decorated
walk way to the event grounds on the theme, ignited
by passion, lots of paparazzi, socialization and
partying with stars. The event is expected to be on
full of glitz and glamour.
The road to the most anticipated event on the GH
entertainment calendar would be cleared in a few
days, we may not know who will get cut or who will
be nominated for what at this moment but one thing
is for certain, the controversy over who should
have been nominated and who shouldn’t have been
will begin soon after the list of nominees list is
released. However, in the midst of all the
controversies don’t forget to vote for your favourite
artistes should they make the cut.

Ghana, supported by STAR and GHOne TV, Ignited
by Passion and Powered by 25 million Fans.
