ArtRwanda - Ubuhanzi, Edition II Returns for the Provincial Auditions

Artists in six categories—Plastic Arts, Dance & Music, Fashion, Acting & Drama, Cinematography & Photography, and Literature—supported in the ArtRwanda - Ubuhanzi, who passed the district-level auditions will have another opportunity to showcase their talent. Those who will

triumph at this stage will proceed to the final stages, where the winners in those categories will receive diverse rewards.

Among 3402 youths who registered for ArtRwanda-Ubuhanzi district-level auditions, 741 artists have passed and are proceeding to the province stage. The winners will undergo a year-long incubation programme to groom and grow their talent and business acumen in order to earn from their crafts.

After this incubation period, the artists will proceed to the finals that will determine the winner in each category. Three winners in every category will go home with RWF 1 Million each, and the top three projects will receive a grant of RWF 10 Million per project.
