We're excited to usher in the fifth year of the ANNA Awards, aimed at women-identifying artists from across the African continent. South African brands ANNA and Latitudes joined forces in 2022 to create an award that discovers, recognises and nurtures a new generation of women artists from Africa. 

This year's applications are open to women-identifying artists in any medium, and close on Friday, 27 June 2026. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, 6 August 2026, in honour of Women's Month.

First Prize: R100,000 cash from ANNA Pure Organic, a presentation at RMB Latitudes 2027, profile on Latitudes digital channels, and a year's supply of ANNA products.

Finalists: All five finalists will receive a Latitudes profile and consideration for a SAFFCA residency.

Audience Award: The public votes for one winner from the five finalists, who receives a year's supply of ANNA products, a newsletter and a social media feature on Latitudes channels.
