The Ikon Awards succeeded in recognizing and honoring game-changers in the Ugandan film and television industry, and more than 25 awards were presented to noteworthy individuals before exhilarated revelers, family and friends.

Designed by Ugandan-based creative house, Addmaya, the accolade takes the form of a locally crafted basked called a ‘Kibo’, a respected ornament in Ugandan culture. With the sun at its center, the accolade symbolizes the harvest of an outstanding level of greatness.
