The Ghana Music Awards is undoubtedly the Biggest and most coveted award scheme in Ghana. Organised under the auspices of the Musicians the Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, the Ghana Music Awards scheme, after its 25th year, has grown into a Festival of Music and Entertainment that engages the entire country and beyond.

It is produced by leading event management firm Charterhouse, in collaboration with leading telecommunications network Vodafone under the following objectives:

• To honour and appreciate musicians and industry stakeholders who have released work(s) that have generated the most public
  excitement within the calendar year of the scheme.
• Provide an international platform through which the Ghanaian music industry can be accessed.
• To reward musicians who have blazed the trail in the music industry
• To project the positive image of the Ghana Music Industry
• To highlight the impact of the music industry in Ghana’s Creative Economy

The Ghana Music Awards Festival is largely a people’s choice award scheme that seeks to foster the development of the Ghanaian music industry by rewarding and celebrating musicians who have excelled in the seven main music genres of Ghana;

• Gospel
• Hip-Life
• Hip- Hop
• Highlife
• Afrobeats
• Afroppop
• Reggae/Dancehall
• Traditional

Their music should have been released and received prominence during the year under review.
The Award Scheme has become the barometer by which Ghanaian musicians measure their success each year and undoubtedly serves as an inspiration and aspiration to the entire music industry.
