Organised in partnership with the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) and under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards scheme, now in its twenty-fourth year, has evolved into a festival of music and entertainment that engages the entire nation and beyond.
It is produced by the event management company Charterhouse in collaboration with the telecommunications company Vodafone to recognize and honor musicians and other music industry professionals whose work generated the most public interest during the scheme's calendar year.
The awards provide an international forum for accessing the Ghanaian music industry and recognize veteran musicians who have paved the way in the music industry.
The VGMAs Festival is primarily a people's choice awards program that seeks to promote the growth of the Ghanaian music industry by rewarding and recognizing musicians who have excelled in the seven main music genres of Ghanaian music, including Gospel, Hip-Life, Hip-Hop, Highlife, Afrobeats, Reggae/Dancehall, and Traditional.
Their music should have been issued and prominent during the period under consideration.
The Award Scheme has become the benchmark by which Ghanaian musicians gauge their success each year.
