2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Full Nominees List: Shatta Wale, Ebony, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie & Joe Mettle compete for Artiste Of The Year Award...

The annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards scheme organised by Charterhouse is once again here with us.

The usual suspense that characterizes the award scheme is already on as the final batch of nominees for the awards has finally been released by the organizers, Charterhouse at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.

This year's main event which marks the 19th edition of the award scheme will be staged on Saturday, April 14th, 2018, at the Accra International conference Center (AICC).

A nominee jam has been scheduled to come off on Saturday, March 24th, 2018 in Cape Coast. An after-party jam will be held at Tema on Saturday, April 28th, 2018.

The good news is that, Popular Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale who had previously been "banned" or "suspended" from submitting his musical works to the board for consideration, has this year been allowed to do so.

Charterhouse has already announced a new partnership deal with Media General, which is the mother company of TV3, 3FM, Akoma FM, etc.

TV3 will this year be responsible for the live telecast of the awards show unlike the previous years which had GHOne TV do it.

So who wins the ultimate award on the night, Artiste Of The Year???
