The due date for ImpACT Awards nominations closes this coming Friday, so please pass this on to anyone who is in the arts and might be worth a nomination.
The due date for nominations for the ImpACT Awards for Young Professionals, which will be presented at the 14th annual ACT Awards, is this coming Friday, the 29th. Artists up to the age of 30 years that fall within the first three years of their professional careers are eligible for nomination.
“The encouragement and acknowledgement of excellence is of utmost importance to the future of South African creativity. ACT, which is the Arts and Culture Trust, is grateful to the Distell Foundation for sponsoring the ImpACT Awards for Young Professionals and we value the opportunity to support emerging artists and enhance excellence in the sector,” says Pieter Jacobs, General Manager of ACT.
Emerging artists at a time in their careers when they have shown commitment to and reached some professional standing in their chosen discipline may be nominated in one of four categories:
- Visual Art (Painting and Printmaking, Sculpting, Public Installations & Photography)
- Performing Arts (Dance, Acting, Musical Theatre & Physical Theatre)
- Music & Singing (Classical, Contemporary & Jazz)
- Design (Craft, Graphic Design, Fashion Design & Web Design)
Winners of the ImpACT Awards are selected by an independent panel of judges. Awards will only be presented if a satisfactory number of quality nominations are received in the various categories and the adjudication panel reserves the right to carry over such awards to the following year.
The closing date for nominations is 29 July 2011. For guidelines and nomination forms please visit the ACT website at www.act.org.za.
