The Telecel Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs), were originally known by its non-sponsored name the Ghana Music Awards until 2013.
VGMA is an annual music awards event in Ghana established in 1999 by a local event organizer and planner company known as CharterHouse to originally and primarily celebrate the “outstanding contributions of Ghanaian musicians to the growth and expansion of its associated industry”.
Held each April, May or June, the event is broadcast locally on GHOne TV, GTV and/or TV3 and outside Ghana on Akwaaba Magic on satellite TV platform DStv and terrestrial TV platform GOtv.
The Artiste of the Year award is the highest and most prestigious of the awards given at the event given to the artiste(s) adjudged by the CharterHouse, the VGMA Board and the general public as having the highest audience appeal, radio play, online streaming and popularity. The artiste(s) must have a released hit single/album during the year under review to qualify/be eligible.
