Makeup Ghana, the leading platform for makeup and beauty in Ghana, has announced nominees for the 3rd edition of Ghana Makeup Awards which will be held on May 11th, 2019 at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra.
Makeup blogger, Ruth Ibukun Nartey of BeatbyIbukun joins over seventy-one (71) official award nominees who were shortlisted from one hundred and thirty-seven (137) nominations across all the categories.
The award scheme that celebrates artistic excellence and beauty uses a holistic approach to scoring nominees with the following weighting applied to choose winners:
Judges – 50%
Public Votes – 30%
Awards Board – 20% (except the Most Glamorous Celebrity: Judges – 50%; Public Votes – 50%.)
The selection of the official award Nominees allows the Awards to now enter the final stage, where judging focuses on live judging sessions for the Makeup Artists, Hair Styling and Makeup Photography Categories and site visits for the Business Categories.
The final stage also includes public voting, which is an integral part of the overall choice of winners for the Ghana Makeup Awards as outlined above. Public Voting enables us to measure the voice of consumers. Public Voting runs from April 8th – May 7th, 2019 and is being done across USSD (*447*22#) and the Ghana Makeup Awards App for Android (bit.ly/gma3rdandroid).
Voting is open to consumers worldwide as our makeup artists, brands, content creators and special category affiliates are international in their scope of services and products.
