In a statement shared with Graphic Showbiz, the TGMA Board confirmed that the final stage of nominations has been completed after a one-week “Errors and Omissions” window.

The window allowed artistes, management teams and industry stakeholders to report issues such as wrong song credits, incorrect category placements, and possible omissions of eligible works.

According to the Board, the review process was handled carefully and fairly, following all the scheme’s guidelines.

“The Board confirms that all submissions received within the review period were duly examined with the utmost diligence and fairness,” part of the statement said.

The statement also noted that most of the concerns raised focused on category placement, eligibility and inclusion in certain award categories. However, none of the issues warranted changes to the final list.

It also reaffirmed its commitment to fairness and integrity in administering the awards, while working to promote Ghanaian music on the global stage.
