Ghana’s Most Influential Awards nomination in progress

Nominations for the 2015 edition of e.tv Ghana’s Most Influential (GMI) Awards are currently on-going, allowing the public to nominate and vote for personalities that had positive influence to their lives during the year 2015.

A statement issued in Accra by Mrs Naomi Nelson-Barnes, Head of Corporate Communications for Global Media Alliance Broadcast Company and copied to Ghana News Agency indicated that the awards is aimed at recognising and celebrating the top 100 most influential Ghanaian personalities as voted by the public.

It explained that the event would feature the GMI Debates which would be an open forum to discuss some of the current pertinent issues in the Ghanaian society.

Ms Nelson-Barnes said: “e.TV Ghana believes in positively affecting society through its programmes and events, hence the establishment of this award as a platform to acknowledge and celebrate the good works of people.

“The rate at which this event has grown over the years tells us that the Ghanaian society is dying for men and women who will effect positive change in the lives of people,” she added.

She noted that over the years, the list has consisted of people from both the formal and informal sectors, ranging from entrepreneurs, politicians, musicians, sports men and women, religious leaders and several others.

“We are indeed very excited about this year’s event and look forward to seeing who will emerge at the top of the list”, she said.

According to the statement, the public could visit www.etvghana.com or tune in to Y107.9 FM or Happy 98.9 FM for more information on the Awards.
