Ngoma Awards 2026

About the Awards

Zimbabwe's flagship advertising awards, presented by ZAAPA in partnership with Loeries.

Our Purpose

Celebrating Craft, Strategy & Culture.

The Ngoma Awards were established by ZAAPA to create a dedicated platform for recognising excellence in Zimbabwean advertising and creative communication. In a landscape where world-class ideas are produced with limited resources, Ngoma exists to hold that work to the highest standard.

In partnership with the Loeries — Africa and the Middle East's premier creative awards — Ngoma benchmarks Zimbabwean creative output against the continent's best, providing entrants with international recognition and context.

What We Stand For

  • Creative excellence that pushes the boundaries of Zimbabwean advertising
  • Strategic thinking that connects brands with communities
  • Cultural authenticity in how stories are told and ideas are executed
  • Integrity and independence in every stage of the judging process
