Ghana RTP Awards 2021: All the nominees

Now in their 11th year, the awards were established by Big Events Ghana to recognise and celebrate outstanding players in the country’s media space. The announcement follows a nominees’ open call that closed on 18 July.

The scheme will reward broadcasters based on their work between July 2020 and June 2021. Voting will be split between the public (60%) and a technical committee (40%), which comprises selected industry veterans.

“We pride ourselves in ensuring that, based on the year in consideration for awarding, the absolutely most deserving are chosen to stand a chance to go through rigorous tests by our esteemed technical team,” the organisers said.

Last year, broadcaster Stacy Amoateng was named RTP Personality of the Year and also picked up RTP Television Development Show Host of the Year Award. Kwami Sefa Kayi and Nathan Kwabena Anokye Adisi (alias Bola Ray) took home the RTP Personality of the Decade 2010-2020 Award.
