Eastern Music Awards unveil nominees
The Eastern Music Awards has officially announced its nominees for the 2024 edition, continuing its legacy of spotlighting outstanding musical talent from Ghana’s Eastern Region. Organized by Hi5 Empire, the awards have become a significant platform for regional artists to gain recognition and build their careers in Ghana’s vibrant music scene. This year’s event will be held on December 14, 2024, celebrating artists across genres including Afrobeats, highlife, reggae/dancehall, and gospel.
The Eastern Music Awards, which has grown consistently over the past eight years, remains dedicated to recognizing the influence and contributions of Eastern Region musicians. The nomination process, which concluded in early October, included a review of works released between July 2023 and August 2024. Artists, their management teams, and fans have been eagerly awaiting this announcement as they prepare for the final voting phase, which will determine the winners in each category.
This year’s event is expected to be highly competitive, featuring both new artists and established names. Nominees and their supporters can campaign for votes as they await the award ceremony, which promises to bring together music enthusiasts and industry leaders.
