Ghana entertainment award scheme, 3music Awards to be hosted online on the 24th April 2020.
It has been speculated that the award show which was said to have been postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic will go virtual on the 24th of April 2020.
Here is a quote from the CEO of 3Media Network, Sadiq Abu Abdulai,
In the past few weeks following the postponement of our annual event and the Fan Festival, we have been brainstorming and exploring possible ways of making the event happen if the situation persists,
He further said,
Given the current lockdown and the fact we are dealing with a fluid situation with no certain end in sight, the team has had to consider one of the options we brainstormed about to ensure that deserving winners for 3Music Awards 2020 are announced as well as wrap our timelines for 2019/2020 and begin preparing for next year.
The program will be presented by 3Media Networks, Joyfm, Hitzfm, JoyPrime TV, Fantasy Entertainment and EnE Ghana and sponsored by Nasco Electronics with support from Volta Hotel Akosombo and Akosombo Textiles Limited.
