By
Events and Logistics Hub in collaboration with NMJ Ghana has launched the 2nd edition of the Gold Coast Excellence Awards (GCEA), which is scheduled to come off in March 2020.

The GCEA is an award scheme created to honor the most outstanding achievements of professionals in their field. The awards scheme takes an extensive look at the most remarkable examples of expertise in Ghana, with categories that cover various sectors from Agriculture to Automobile.

The GCEA’s core mission is to develop innovation and excellence in people and the industries in Ghana, to further their role in society. The event seeks to influence Ghanaian industries for great criterions as well as shed light on individuals and firms by celebrating them.

The maiden edition was held on the 23rd of March, 2019 at the Labadi Beach Hotel, Accra, where over 40 individuals and companies in Ghana were honored. Over 2000 individuals and firms were also nominated in various categories.

Speaking to Cypress Ghana, CEO for the scheme Mimi Andani said the award will bridge the gap between the small and large scale entrepreneurs and establishments.

She said “we don’t just focus on established entrepreneurs, we are also looking at unsung entrepreneurs and that’s why we gave an opportunity for the pre nomination.  Anyone can nominate an entrepreneur which will give an opportunity to unsung companies and unsung entrepreneurs.”

She acknowledged that there are entrepreneurs who are doing great across the continent and putting Ghana on the map. “But because they don’t even care about PR, they don’t want any popularity, people don’t know them. So that’s the opportunity for people to nominate such people, she added”

She added “so gold coast excellence is to build the gap between the established and unsung ones who are also doing great. So basically anybody can go there and nominate, then we do the research. And then give to the board to decide. Sometimes we even go to FDA because we need to look at the product quality and your level of hygiene before you are considered.”

Nominations will be open from 10th November, 2019 to 10th January, 2020, nominations for the Gold Coast Excellence Awards will be open to enable the general public file their nominations online in a simple less-than-ten minute process. A nomination can be filed on behalf of a company or individual.


All firms including those founded in 2019 may take part in the competition. A large part of the firm’s achievement must have taken place during the year under review, however, it is not mandatory for the whole achievement to have occurred strictly within this period. For already existing firms, a notable change must have been implemented within the year under review.

The second edition of the GCEA promises to be even better and exciting because the scheme has expanded its categories to include more industries/sectors in Ghana. The main event will also begin with a Red Carpet Awards ceremony followed by cocktail dinner for all attendees.
