Call
period: October 17 to November 11, 2019
The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) invites
its stakeholders and the public at large to nominate individuals for the 22nd
ACT Awards. Held annually in recognition and celebration of excellence in South
African arts, culture and creativity, the ACT Awards are one of ACT’s flagship
programmes and have since 1998 recognised and honoured outstanding achievements
and contributions to the sector.
The ACT Awards are divided into two major
segments: the ACT Lifetime Achievement Awards and ImpACT Award for Young
Professionals. The ACT Lifetime Achievement Awards honour living arts
professionals aged over 60 whose extraordinary careers in the arts and lifelong
achievements have contributed significantly to the enrichment of cultural life
in South Africa. These awards honour contributions in arts advocacy, dance,
literature, music, theatre and visual arts.
The ImpAct Award for Young Professionals
recognises artists aged no older than 35 who are in the early stages of careers
that show promise of making meaningful contributions to the sector in the
future.
Nominations
ACT invites its stakeholders and interested
members of the public to nominate individuals for consideration in both
categories from October 17 to November 11, 2019. Nominations will be considered
by the ACT board of trustees before winners in the two segments and various
categories are announced at the 2020 ACT Awards ceremony in February 2020.
