The National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) is the premier award given by the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) in recognition of outstanding achievements in the arts and culture.
The inaugural NAMA was held in February 2002 honouring artists who excelled in 2001.
Since then, NAMA award ceremonies have been held in February of each year to recognize artists who would have excelled in the previous year.
For the past two years NAMA has been put together by the NACZ in conjunction with Jacaranda Culture and Media Corporation (JCMC).
This year’s theme is Unlocking Dreams.
