The Vision
Accolade coincides with the strategic efforts to “promote Guyana”, by showcasing its rich and diverse arts and cultures. The unique exhibition of our local talent (at another level) is the continuation of the unleashing of our vast potentials in the music industry.
Once again Guyana will be making its mark in the international arena by rewarding artistic excellence in the music industry through a premier event comparable to international Award shows such as the Grammy’s and the one produced by BET.
Indeed, the line up of fantastic performances will represent a climax for the local entertainment diehards and at the same time promote and represent a hype for the local music industry. Guyanese are asked to prepare themselves for an event which can only be billed as an excellent experience – from red carpet entrances to outstanding local and regional performances from a mind blowing awards ceremony to interational celebrity endorsements.
The music industry is at a critical crossroad and deserves every effort to highlight its achievements, motivate its artistes, elevate standards, encourage artistic excellence and utilize talents that may be inclined to engage in negative endeavours.
It is both opportune and ideal that this venture, capitalizing on the positive experiences coming out of Guyana’s successful hosting of Cricket World Cup, (CWC), Rio Summit, Guyana Fashion Weekend and Commonwealth Finance Minister’s Meeting, (CFMM) all held in 2007 and CARIFESTA 2008, be staged at this time.
This celebration of achievements in the music industry will be Guyana’s most prestigous gala event.
“Arrowhead” our promotional group (registered under Business Names: Registration Act Chapter 90:05) is therefore desrious of advancing strategic partnership for high-level media coverage and public participation as part of our inclusive approach to maximize the potential of the music industry.
The Objectives
- To recognise, appreciate and reward local artiste and music professionals for their contributions to the striving music industry in Guyana.
- To extend motivation and provide exposure for local artistes, all relevant to the growth and development of the music industry in Guyana.
- To provide an opportunity for local artistes to market and highlight their talent as a product.
- To enocurage and promote qaulity as well as to increase meaningful involvement in an effort to ensure the overall development of the music industry in Guyana.
Live up to the prestige and challenge!
With an event of this magnitude, the music industry will catapult to a new level providing great benefits to be derived all for the maximum advantage of your company.
Coming fully on board will facilitate the upward climb of business by connectiing with thousands of locals, overseas-based Guyanese and non-resident visitors from North America, United Kingdom and Caribbean to more than six events during an eight-month period.

Greetings and Blessings, I am a Guyanase enterpenuer/artist
who at present resides in the States. I must first commend
all parties in the effortless work being put towards uplifting
and acknowledging Guyanese artists and the importance
of what the industry it is capable of providing for our
country economically speaking.
How do Guyanase artist's such as myself get involved and part
take in such endeavour. I would also like to see more of our
Guyanase artist receiving awards at the Reggae Awards in
New York City, Apollo Theater which is held once a year in
May. It is time the rest of the world know what great talent
we have. If you require information for this event please
don't hesitate to contact me. I have work with this event
for the past four years and hope to see many more inclusion
of our artist in the show next year.
