According to Humphrey Nabimanya, founder of the iKon Awards, the initiative is essential, in not only celebrating the industry but also encouraging more Ugandans to showcase their stories and craft which has been a great boost to country’s tourism and heritage.

The award plaque takes the form of a locally crafted basket called a “Kibo,” a highly respected ornament in Ugandan culture. With the sun at its center, the accolade symbolises the harvest of greatness, and serves as a fitting reward for the iKon Award winners.

The iKon Awards ceremony will hold on Saturday 25th March, 2023 at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
