MPOTO AWARDS 2023
In 2023, the Mpoto Awards made a triumphant comeback, bigger, stronger, and better than ever before. With an expanded reach that extended across the region, the awards underwent a transformation, now known as the Mpoto (North) Awards, reflecting their broader scope and inclusivity. This evolution allowed the Mpoto Awards to embrace a wider range of artistic talent and celebrate the diverse cultural heritage of the region.
Once again, the success of the Mpoto Awards 2023 was made possible through the generous support of our partners, including Grand Palace and Ulalo. Their unwavering commitment to promoting the arts and supporting local talent played a vital role in bringing the awards to fruition and ensuring their continued success.
