The Ikon Film and Television Awards are returning for their third edition. Organised by the Ikon Inspire Foundation, Reach A Hand Uganda, and Sauti Plus Media Hub, the awards are aimed at celebrating creativity and innovation in Uganda’s film and television industry.

The announcement was made on Sunday during a colourful old school-themed event held at the Kampala Serena Hotel – bringing together several filmmakers and industry players for a fun-filled evening with entertainment from Band Sanyu and DJ Bryan who wowed guests with beautiful blasts from the past.

While addressing guests during the launch event, Humphrey Nabimanya – the founder of the Awards, emphasized the importance of the platform to bring filmmakers together towards growing the industry.

He said, “we need to come together as an industry and collaborate on a much deeper level if we want to grow to the scale of established African film giants like Nigeria and South Africa.”

As part of the awards, the organisers host a series of activities leading up to the main event, including masterclasses during which young and upcoming filmmakers learn valuable skills from professionals.

Usama Mukwaya, the Producer of the Ikon Awards and Director of Operations at the Ikon Inspire Foundation, said the nominations will be announced in January, adding that they had increased the number of slots within each category from four to five.

The Ikon Awards will take place on 29th March 2025 at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
