Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

The official site for Bulawayo’s ninth annual arts awards, with nominations, 37 categories, event dates, news, and a gallery.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.

For: Bulawayo artists, audiences, nominators, and arts-community observers
Worth noticing: The programme separates literary work in English and Ndebele, gives Maskandi its own category, and places Amapiano with Kwaito.

Field notes

The homepage maps the awards cycle from nominations opening on 22 September through the ceremony on 28 November 2026, with a nominee reveal and dinner in between. Its category architecture records local distinctions that a generic awards site might flatten: Maskandi stands separately, Amapiano joins Kwaito, and literary work is judged in English and Ndebele. The site also includes a gallery, news posts, nomination rules, partnerships, and a public contact address.
