Norminee list for the 4th edition of the 3Music Awards have been released

3Music Networks, organizers of the annual 3Music Awards have released the list of nominees for the 4th edition.

Notable among the list of nominees are the Kumerican guys who broke through the roof with their own unique sound in 2020.

Others include Sarkodie, Kweku Flick, Ko-Jo Cue and several others who secured nominations in various categories.

This year’s awards see adoption and renaming of some categories including its Music Man of the Year category to Artiste (MVP) of the Year.

The new categories and additions were made during the scheme’s annual retreat for the board and some stakeholders in Akosombo weeks ago.

The board also approved for ‘EP of the Year’ ‘Best Alternative Song’ and ‘Emerging Woman of the Year’ to be added to the list of categories consistent with awards intentional policy to be all-embracing and also enable inclusion and representation for female artists.

The ‘Rapper of the Year’ category has been redefined to reward consistent rap-based activities of talents within the year under review away from the initial rap performance on a song.

‘Woman of the Year’ and ‘Emerging Woman of the Year’ will now become the topmost awards of the Women’s Brunch, which comes off on 7th March in commemoration of International Women’s Day.

Artiste of the Year now becomes the scheme’s topmost award.

The 4th annual 3Music Awards 2021 will be broadcasted on Saturday, 27th March 2021 at 8 pm.
