Your authoritative all-round online news website YEN.com.gh has, over the years, moved from a known brand into a loved brand and has been touted as the one-stop destination for all news.
We have made a mark in the general lives of many Ghanaians and have promoted dozens of entertainers and political figures through our stories.
Seven years later, we are looking to reward some of the personalities who have made a mark in their various fields of expertise and are riding the waves of prominence and popularity.
We looked at all possible ways of magnifying such individuals and have decided to birth the YEN Entertainment Awards.
