The nominees for the 3Music Awards 2019, to be held later this year, have been announced in Accra on Friday.
Excitement is already building for what promises to be an improved second edition in March; the organizers have made some changes including the institution of special voting mechanics for the Public (60%) and Academy (40%).
At the launch of this year’s 3 Music Awards, organizers briefed the press on new changes in the scheme and other issues with regards to artistes’ performances on the night.
According to the founder of 3 Music Network, Sadiq Abdulai, the categories have also grown to include more genre and song-specific slots while the various social media categories have morphed into the Digital Act of the Year category.
Voting mechanics for this year’s edition will see some changes as well. Prominently, it will feature innovation that measures comments, hashtags, social media updates, mobile IVR and texts to short codes across two voting blocs, the public and the awarding Academy.
The 3 Music Awards 2019 is scheduled to take place at the Fantasy Dome on 30th March.
3Music Awards 2019‘s eligibility year is between November 2017 to October 2018.
