Imagine this. You’re sitting on a masterpiece. Maybe it’s a groundbreaking video game, a digital art piece that slaps harder than a Wi-Fi disconnect in the middle of a Valorant match, or an animation so smooth it makes Pixar blink twice.

Now picture this. What if that creative genius of yours could win you a prestigious Fak’ugesi Award?

Well, good news. Submissions are officially open for the 2025 Fak’ugesi Awards, and the clock is ticking. You have until 15 July 2025 to shoot your shot. 

What Can You Submit?

This isn’t your regular “only paintings allowed” award show. Fak’ugesi is here for the digital dreamers and the tech-powered storytellers. They’re calling for submissions in:

  • Design
  • Digital Arts
  • Animation
  • Video Games
  • Immersive Media
  • Cross-Sector Music (Yes, that wild sonic experiment you made with your friend who owns too many synths counts too)

Why Fak’ugesi Matters

Hosted in partnership with Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct and Wits University, the Fak’ugesi Awards champion African digital creativity. It’s not just about trophies. It’s about recognition, visibility, and community for artists across the continent who are pushing the boundaries of tech and culture.

And let’s be real. Having “Fak’ugesi Award Winner” on your portfolio? That’s the kind of flex that speaks in LinkedIn fluency.

Don’t Snooze on This!
