After several sittings to review the VGMA 2013 music entries over the last few weeks, the job of the VGMA Board is now done. Though it involved an arduous task in shortlisting, categorizing and verifying the various entries, they are, however, satisfied with the results and are ready to release the Nominees List for this year's awards at another dazzling launch event slated for this Saturday, February 23, 2013, at the La Palm Beach Hotel.

Expected, as usual, at this glittering pre-festival event, as has characterized the recharged VGMA brand, will be a tall guest list of the "who is who" in the entertainment industry from producers, technicians to the artistes, managers and musicians.

The Grand launch event is as highly anticipated as the main awards night as it gets the ball rolling for the entire festival, climaxing with the official release of the much awaited nominations list.

In true VGMA style, it will be a Grand Reception, replete with a red carpet, lots of paparazzi, great socialisation and partying with the industry and specially invited fans.

The VGMA, as always, offers a platform to energize artistes, managers, producers, sound engineers and other industry players to step up the quality of what they churn out so they can earn a place on international platforms, hence the theme of this year's event, "The Next Level"!
