The Head of Communications and Public Events at Charterhouse Productions, Robert Klah, has explained why some artistes were not nominated in certain categories at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA27).
Speaking on DaybreakHitz, Klah said several factors determine an artiste’s eligibility for a category, including submission timelines, category requirements, and the level of competition.
According to him, missing out on a nomination does not necessarily mean an artiste did not perform well during the year.
“For any reason an artiste couldn’t make it into a specific category, it could be one of many things. Sometimes it means the person just couldn’t make the cut in comparison to others in that space because the process is inherently competitive,” he explained.
Klah added that the evaluation process goes beyond local performance, with organisers considering a broader range of data before making decisions.
“When we say global view, we are not only looking at what happens here. We also look at streams, feedback from other regions, and airplay, among other elements,” he said.
He noted that while some may believe certain artistes deserve nominations in particular categories, the final decisions are made after reviewing all available data and evaluation criteria.
