The Planning Committee of the 3rd annual Ghana DJ Awards is
proud to announce that entries for the 2015 edition are open and DJs are
invited to submit their entries for mixtapes and other performances
between October 2013 and November 24, 2014.
DJs can enter online at www.theghanadjawards.com Submissions are open from November 19th and close on December 24.
The third Ghana DJ Awards will consist of 24 categories, of which 22
are open for entries. According to Ken Addo, executive member of the
Ghana DJ Awards, entries received will be screened for compliance with
the award rules and also to ensure that the entries were submitted in
the correct category.
“The purpose of this process, known as vetting, is to ensure that
each entry is eligible and not at risk of disqualification later. The
sorting committee of the Ghana DJ Awards will perform this function. No artistic or technical judgments are made about entries at this stage,” he said.
After submission, qualifying entries will be sent to the judges for
adjudication. All the categories in the awards, with the exception of
non-voting categories, are adjudicated by a panel of judges in
accordance with the defined guidelines.“The public is not involved at
this stage at all,” Ken stressed.
He added that there is a different panel of judges for each category,
but depending on the particular expertise of a judge, such a judge may
serve on more than one panel. The panel of judges is reviewed annually.
They are selected according to their expertise in their respective
fields.
Final nominations will be announced at the Main Launch of the 2015
Ghana DJ Awards in January. The judging vote will count 70% while the
public vote will count 30%.
Ghana DJ Awards, the premier program celebrating and adding value to
DJ culture in Ghana, is aimed at highlighting contributions DJs have
made to Ghanaian music distribution & promotion by playing on radio,
endorsing & putting songs out to be enjoyed by the masses.
The awards ceremony is set to hold at the Accra International Conference Centre on Saturday February 21 under the theme AMPLIFIED. For more information on the biggest DJ event in Africa, visit www.theghanadjawards.com
