Speaking on whether the move was an indication that winners at the main event will be published as it has been suggested by some industry players, Public Relations Officer, George Quaye, said they don’t intend showing the results.

According to him, no scheme around the globe publishes the results for accumulated votes so if people are suggesting that the VGMAs learn from such international schemes, they must as well take notice of that.

“The results will not be shown. It goes with international best practice. Which award scheme shows results? Unsung is not a competition. It is just to motivate these young chaps that there is a big world for them to take over. They get no plaque. We thought the public should know because it was 50% public votes. All the time, people say we should ascribe to international standards. I’ve never seen Grammys, Oscars publish results,” he told Abrantepa on radio Univers’ mid-morning show, Brunch2Lunch.

In April this year, Nii Ayittey Hammond, board chairman of the scheme, in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Flex On Pluzz asked that any artiste who doubts the results should go to event statistician, KMPG.

“You can go to KPMG; you can get the results. You want to challenge it so go to them. They have the results; they have a reputation at stake. They sit at the venue till the event ends to ensure that what they submitted is what is being said,” he stated.
