Ghana Models Awards JUNIORS 2022 Celebrates Children in Modelling
On Saturday 24th September 2022 at The Burg in Labadi, the maiden edition of the Ghana Models Awards JUNIORS, honored children who had excelled in the modelling profession in Ghana. According to the Founder Jerry Wonder Sampson, the purpose of the event is to ensure the cycle of production of professional models in Ghana for the advertising, fashion and other corporate markets. He added that the selection was based on individual professional work done in 2021. However, amateurs with potentials were also acknowledged during the event in Accra.
Explaining the need to ensure that the production of professional models does not dry out, the Founder of the Ghana Models Awards JUNIORS Jerry Wonder Sampson, said that it was a way of not just keeping the industry alive, but also expanding it. “By encouraging the younger ones into professional modelling, we are nursing new and promising talents to fill in the positions of the adult models when they exit. Also, we are drawing more attention to the profession and generating interest among many potentials and this will gradually increase the players in the industry; and this is very good for modelling”, he said. 
The biggest awards for the day were the Model Agency of the Year, the Overall Male and Female Models of the Year which went to Godzy Modelling Agency, Elijah Boasiako of ‘Loret Kids and Teens’ and Maame A.S. Aboagye of ‘Godzy Modelling Agency’.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
