The Annual Ghana Sports Excellence Awards present the general public an ideal chance to nominate Ghanaian sportspeople, coaches, administrators, sports media, and other stakeholders worldwide.

"This is a great chance to recognise that success - both on the local and national stage - and to say thank you to all Ghanaian sports personalities worldwide that make it all possible, underscored Franklin Boateng, Executive Producer of the worldwide Ghanaian sporting event.

"If you know of a Ghanaian sports enthusiast, sportsperson or a team which has excelled this year, or somebody who is dedicated to championing the cause of sports development and promotion in Ghana, then why not nominate them for an award?"

The deadline for nominations is Friday, December 23, 2016.

"This is our chance to celebrate sporting success across the board in Ghana, and recognise all the hard work behind the scenes," he said.

To nominate a candidate, kindly give reasons why he/she deserve the recognition and email it to hallmarkplus7@gmail.com
