“The general public is invited to nominate their favourite artist via our Facebook page (National Art Merit Awards), nominations close on the 20th of February, when the top five nominees will be announced. From there, the people will once again vote for their favourite who will be announced on the 25th of February at the Nama ceremony,” said Kitchen. -@mthabisi_mthire
