Organisers of the Ghana Music Awards, Charterhouse will soon unveil a new headline sponsor for the award scheme.
Public Relations Officer of Charterhouse, Robert Klah disclosed this in an interview on Hitz FM explaining why the announcement for nominations for the award did not include the name ‘Vodafone.’
According to him, the previous sponsors, Vodafone Ghana is currently being transitioned and its name change will affect the brand of the award scheme.
He indicated that the award scheme will bear the name, Ghana Music Awards until an official sponsor is announced.
“The name Vodafone has a time frame you can only use it up to a point. And we are almost at that particular point. So what it means is that you cannot use the name so there is supposed to be a new name that we will eventually use and we will announce that.
“We have an official sponsor just that there is a transitioning happening. So basically, we can only put flyers out there as ‘Ghana Music Awards’. We will announce the sponsor once everything is complete,” he said during the interview on February 1.
Vodafone is currently being transitioned to Telecel, a telecommunication company which acquired 70% majority shares in Vodafone Ghana in February last year.
Meanwhile, Charterhouse has opened nominations for this year’s Ghana Music Awards.
Artists, managers, and music industry stakeholders have up until February 29 to submit their entries through the official portal: https://www.entry.ghanamusicawards.com.
The works from the nominees across a diverse range of categories should be released between January 1st and December 31st, 2023.
