“We have done our best the count trying to put the show together twice; one of which made history as the first ever modelling awards scheme in the country. And now, it is time for the event to grow into the future, hence our decision to partner the Models Association of Ghana (M.A.G)”, he explained.

A pioneer model in Ghana and a founding member of the Models Association of Ghana (M.A.G) Lord Ameyao Gidiglo on behalf of M.A.G expressed his excitement about the partnership. “This partnership will catapult the modelling industry in Ghana to a greater height and increase professional standards in the industry. It will also lay the foundation for upcoming modelling talents to explore career opportunities”, he said.

The organizers have stated that this year’s edition will celebrate models, as well as stakeholders, who have excelled in the profession and have contributed to the positive growth of the industry. Special awards will also be given to models who have devoted their time, effort and resources to the development of their immediate society through community service and leadership initiatives.

Earlier, international Top Model Grace Quaye was announced as the face of the Ghana Models Awards 2020. According to the organizers, she was chosen based on her fast rising international career after emerging as a homegrown Ghanaian model and her leadership drive. She was further described as the future of modelling in Ghana.

The Ghana Models Awards is the only annual event in Ghana that celebrates models working in Ghana; as well as Ghanaian models working abroad.

This year’s event will employ very strict Covid – 19 safety precautionary measures as part of the fight against the deadly disease. The organizers have therefore, limited the seating capacity to a reduced number of half the event hall size.
