Sponsored by the Distell Foundation, ACT presents four ImpACT Awards to emerging artists at a time in their careers when they have shown commitment to, and reached some professional standing in, their chosen discipline. Young professional artists, up to the age of 30 years that fall within the first three years of their professional careers are eligible for nomination.
Awards will be presented in four broad arts categories with selected disciplines being eligible for consideration in each.
The categories are:
- 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 for Young Professionals 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 go to http://www.act.org.za/programmes_awards.htm
All nominations should be e-mailed to deidre@act.org.za
The ACT Awards 2011 is supported by Classicfeel Magazine and Business and Arts South Africa (BASA).
