Full List of nominees released for 2021 edition of Ashanti Region Music awards

3D Events Management, organizers of the most anticipated and celebrated music event in the Ashanti Region, ‘’Ashanti Region Music Awards’’ have finally unveiled the nominees for this year’s event.

This year’s edition will be the 2nd since the event began and it is expected to be much more glamorous than the maiden edition which saw about 1600 music lovers trooping into the CCB Auditorium at KNUST last year.

The 2021 Nomination list covers 40 categories with over 350 nominees who will be voted for through a short code (*447*661#) followed by the nominee’s code and the cast of vote to decide winners on the main event day.

Winner of a category will be determined through 50% public voting, 30% by the board, and 20% by the academy.

Voting is expected to commence officially on the 17^th of November and will end on Saturday 18th December at 12noon.

The main event is slated for Saturday 18th December 2021 at Prempeh Assembly Hall, Kumasi. This year’s edition according to the organizers is dubbed "Solidifying the Breakthrough of Ashanti Region Music."

The organizers are seen promoting a hashtag which is #MusicIsBackHome. It is not clear the main motive behind this hashtag. However, some entertainment pundits are saying it could mean that Ashanti region controlling the Ghanaian music industry in the past has been revived and restored by the current Kumerican artistes.
