Arguably the biggest and most consistent event on the entertainment calendar in Ghana, the prestigious and yet controversial Ghana Music Awards is in limbo this year over when and where the event would take place. The organizers seem to have been hit harder by the closure of the Dome where the event has being happening for the past four years. According Peacefmonline.com investigations Charterhouse, organizers of the event are still struggling for a suitable venue for this year�s much anticipated 14th edition. The main awards night which according initial plans was supposed to come off in the second or third week in April 2013 may not happen as planned due to unavailability of a world standard venue in the whole of Ghana to accommodate the huge Ghana Music Awards crowd. This is getting a ripple effect on the other events like the Nomination Jam(Bring it to your city), the industry seminar and the Industry Awards night that are all supposed to come off before the main awards night which always climaxes the entire festival. The problem of venue is also affecting the dates for the various activities. Peacefmonline.com�s probe in the issue has revealed that organizers kept insisting on using the Dome but after several back and forth, management of the Dome also insisted on renovating the facility for its safety before it can used again. As off now, organizers have no options than to go for the 2000 capacity Accra International Conference Center main hall which seems relatively small considering the following Ghana Music Awards have gathered over the years.
