Peacefmonline.com is reliably
informed that for the first time in fourteen year history of the
prestigious Ghana Music Awards, winner of the ultimate “Artiste of the
year” award will take home a brand new car.
According to source
from Charterhouse this is supposed to be one of the many big surprises
expected on the night come Saturday May 18, 2013 at the Accra
International Conference Centre. Even though the source who spoke on
condition of anonymity refused to give details he disclosed that it’s a
saloon car.
Peacefmonline.com investigations revealed that this
is an initiative by Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) and we are
informed that this is going to be an annual affair.
Speaking to
Peacefmonline.com Rex Omar who is in charge of Business Development for
MUSIGA confirmed the information adding that this is a little
contribution from MUSIGA to compliment the efforts of the organizers and
encourage the musicians to do good music.
“This is an
initiative by MUSIGA. It is starting this year and it is going to
continue every year. We have been trying to make this possible and thank
God it has become a reality. This shows how MUSIGA is committed to
changing the life of Ghanaian musicians and the music industry as a
whole and we are still working”, Rex disclosed.
According to Rex
the car which is a latest Rover saloon car will be presented by MUSIGA
to the winner of the topmost category only if the winner is a registered
member of the union with good standing.
He added that in a
situation where the winner is not a member of MUSIGA, the artistes would
be given a one month grace period to register and become a member of
MUSIGA before they would qualify to take the car home.
Rex also
disclosed that the car does not affect the already established GH¢10,000
cash prize that comes with the artistes of the year category. In
effect, winner of VGMA 2013 Artistes of the year will take home
GH¢10,000 and brand new 2013 Rover car among other goodies.
However
one car would be given to the winner every year whether they are a
group or a solo artiste. The car by is courtesy of Midland Savings and
