Zimbabwe's big radio stations are sending their playlist data to help judge the National Arts Merit Awards, and the awards people said Power FM, ZiFM Stereo, Star FM, Skyz Metro FM, and Radio Zimbabwe all handed over their charts. The event drops at Harare International Conference Centre under the theme Fearless Creativity, and over 1,100 artists have already submitted entries from every province.
Most people are filling out forms online instead of doing it the old way, and film submissions are ahead of music and visual arts. Harare and Bulawayo are leading the charge with entries. The awards crew is adding two fresh categories for fashion and digital media after talking to people around the country. Fashion will cover designer awards, and digital media will recognize content creators and podcasters.
The submission window closes soon, and organizers are yelling at artists who filled out forms but forgot to email their actual work files. Only stuff made between late last year and late this year counts for the competition.
