The list was made available to TheAfricanDream.net as a media partner and it recognises Ghana’s most influential content creators selected across different categories.
Headless YouTuber, Kwadwo Sheldon, Jessica OS, Sweet Adjeley, Wode Maya, and Zion Felix are at the top of the list with three nominations each.
The event will feature all-star speakers that includes Israeli YouTuber, Nas Daily; Ghana’s award-winning YouTuber, Wode Maya; Jessica Opare-Saforo, Sweet Adjeley, Ken Agyapong & Abdul Karim (Co Founders, Afrochella), Kwadwo Sheldon, Ameyaw Debrah, Yonny Friedman, and Ivy Prosper.
The festival was formally launched last Friday, November 4, at the Plush Silver Star Peugeot Showroom in Accra; scheduled to hold later this month from November 24 – 26.
It was endorsed by Beyond the Return, a Ghanaian government diaspora programme in September. According to the official statement, the endorsement is a “mutually beneficial agreement” for both parties.
It will honour and commemorate the contributions and efforts of Ghana’s creative content creators in a unique three-day event that will engage, inform, and inspire the worldwide YouTube community.
