According to the organisers, this year's edition of the 3Music Awards will be held in September, with nominees announced a month before on August 9.
The network's Head of Content and Strategy announced that it will no longer field its Fan Army of the Year category. The network has yet to share its itinerary for this year's highly anticipated edition.
Many fans are looking forward to seeing which Ghanaian artistes will make it to the over 30 categories available.
Shatta Wale is the most successful artiste in the scheme's history. In 2019 alone, he won eight awards out of 11 nominations.
Speaking to Nana Sarkwah Ntiamoah, 3Music Network's Business Development Manager, he said,
Our theme this year is connecting through music,” meaning we are bringing the ecosystem together in the creative arts industry. Fans should expect the top-notch production and creative direction which has become our hallmark. We are touching it up higher.
Vodafone Ghana Music Awards rebrands
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards had changed its acronym from VGMA to TGMA.
The changes were effected to match the name change of its title sponsor, Vodafone Ghana, to Telecel Ghana.
The award scheme's rebrand clashed with its 25th edition, which happened on June 1. Stonebwoy won seven awards, including the ultimate Artiste of the Year category.
