The story

Telecel Ghana Music Awards in Accra

Established in 1999 by Charter House, the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, known as the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards from 2011 to 2024, recognizes outstanding Ghanaian musical talent each April to June at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre. Long-running telecom sponsorship has funded expanded genre categories, regional touring concerts and school outreach programmes.

The Ghana Music Awards, now known by its current sponsored name as the Telecel Ghana Music Awards after carrying the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards name for over a decade before that, was established in 1999 by Charter House, a Ghanaian event organizing company, specifically to recognize outstanding contributions by Ghanaian musicians to their country's music industry.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

A single sponsorship relationship, running continuously from Vodafone's 2011 partnership through the 2024 rebrand to Telecel, has funded a documented expansion of the awards into new genre categories, a regional Xperience Concert touring series and a dedicated schools initiative, a level of sustained corporate investment in a single national music awards programme uncommon across West Africa

02

The mystery stays covered

Its fixed home at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre since 2019 also gives the ceremony a stable, purpose-built venue rather than a rotating hall
