Botswana Artists Award
These awards are one of the grandest awardsin the country and the fact that they have several categories makes them one of the most respected in the country. Sponsored by Orange Botswana and supported by the Department of Culture and Youth, the awards have, music, dance, visual arts, photography, film & video, and creative writing categories. The only snag about the Orange Botswerere awards is that they are biennial otherwise, they would fit the 'mother of local awards' label.
