Already the NACZ is calling for submissions of works for consideration in the 13th Nama.
“Works submitted should be accompanied with an entry form obtainable from the National Art Gallery and any NACZ offices throughout Zim- babwe.
“Submissions can be made by producers, production houses, organisations, arts associations, studios, stables, galleries, groups, artistes, monitors and/or the public. Consideration will only be given to art works published between December 1, 2012 and November 30 2013
“All entries must be accompanied by the artiste’s product(s).
“These could be in the form of DVDs videotapes, flash drives, CDs, photographs, books, art works, etc.
“Two sets of the particular works should be submitted for selection for Nama in order to assist in the process of adjudication.
“NACZ reserves the right to retain the submitted works. Only Zimbabwean citizens or those with resident status can enter Nama,” she said.
Mthombeni said the event managers – Mighty Movies – were upbeat about the 13th Nama and have already lined up events in the build up to Nama 2014.
