Ghana’s creative and digital industries gained a significant platform for recognition as nominations officially opened Tuesday for the Ghana Digital Awards (GDA) 2025, offering free entry to individuals and organizations shaping the country’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
LoversGH Network Ltd, in partnership with Mamaitaly Ventures, launched the nomination period with applications available through November 2025 via the official portal at ghanadigitalawards.com. The initiative targets entrepreneurs, creatives, and brands operating within Ghana’s digital ecosystem, with eligibility extending to individuals aged 18 and above plus registered organizations.
The awards scheme emerges amid Ghana’s growing digital transformation, positioning itself as a counterpoint to established entertainment awards by focusing specifically on digital innovation, creative entrepreneurship, and technological advancement across multiple sectors.
Project Director Isaac Newton Worwornyo emphasized the initiative’s broader vision beyond traditional recognition ceremonies. “The Ghana Digital Awards is not just another event — it is a movement to honor the noble contributions of creatives, entrepreneurs, and digital leaders whose work is transforming Ghana’s future,” Worwornyo stated during the launch announcement.
The timing proves strategic as Ghana’s digital economy continues expanding, with government initiatives promoting digitalization across sectors including finance, agriculture, and public services. The awards potentially fill a recognition gap for digital innovators who may not fit traditional business or entertainment award categories.
Voting will commence immediately following the November nomination closure, though specific dates and voting mechanisms remain undisclosed. The organizers promise what they describe as an unprecedented event format that will “redefine how award events inspire change” within Ghana’s creative industry.
LoversGH Network, established in 2016 as a Ghanaian broadcast firm, previously organized the African Awards, demonstrating experience in continental-scale creative recognition programs. The partnership with Mamaitaly Ventures adds business development expertise to the initiative’s operational framework.
Categories and specific award divisions have not been publicly detailed, though the broad eligibility criteria suggest recognition opportunities across digital marketing, e-commerce, fintech, creative content, and technology startups. The free nomination structure removes financial barriers that often limit participation in similar recognition programs.
Industry observers note the awards launch coincides with increased investment in Ghana’s technology sector and growing international attention on West African digital innovation hubs. The initiative could provide valuable visibility for local companies seeking regional or global expansion opportunities.
The nomination portal requires standard application information including project descriptions, impact metrics, and supporting documentation. Applicants can submit multiple entries across different categories, though specific limitations and submission requirements remain undefined pending detailed guidelines publication.
With Ghana positioning itself as a regional technology and financial services hub, the Ghana Digital Awards 2025 represents an emerging platform for showcasing local digital innovation capabilities to national and potentially international audiences.
