The brains behind the world-class Golden Movie Awards have a new offering for Ghanaians, an award show set to reward excellence in all walks of life.
The Gold Coast Excellence Awards, a much broader awards scheme to cover more sectors of Ghanaian society beyond showbiz, was launched at an event held at the Accra International Press Centre today, December 4th.
The launch was to introduce the scheme to the public for the first time via the medium of the press.
The awards scheme, according to organizers NMJ Ghana, would honour over 40 individuals and companies for excellence in their respective fields.
Mimi Andani-Michaels, Director of the Golden Movie Awards who would also be in charge of the Gold Coast Excellence Awards, said the awards scheme is to reward the highest levels of achievement in all sectors, with the ‘Excellence’ attached to it a signal of how it would be geared towards extraordinary individuals and companies making giant strides in bettering the lives of Ghanaians in their own way.
