Charter House, organizers of the VGMA, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, has revealed nominees for this year’s event.
Arguably the VGMAs is the biggest award scheme in Ghana that recognizes and rewards the hard work of artistes in Ghana.
The upcoming VGMA will be the 19th edition and it’s scheduled to come off on Saturday, April 14 at the Accra International Conference Center (AICC).
However, it will be preceded by a nominee jam in Cape Coast on Saturday, March 24. There will also be an after-event celebration jam at Tema, on Saturday, April 28.
Shatta Wale, who has been away from the VGMAs for a while due to a mild misunderstanding with the organizers returns, grabbing a couple of nominations so far.
