“By rewarding excelling artists, NAMA stimulates more interest in the arts and raises the profile of the same,” thr NACZ said. “The awards are a means of encouraging creativity and excellence in the quality of the arts, making Zimbabwe a force to reckon with on the international arena.

“In addition, the awards aim to inspire artists to strive for higher and original forms of creativity and provide an opportunity for arts disciplines to jointly market and publicise the arts locally, regionally and internationally.”
