A total of 18 winners walked away with prizes at Ciclope Africa last night: 12 in the Branded Content category, which included sub-categories like Animation, Casting, Cinematography, etc.; five winners in the Special Categories, which included Low Budget, Long Form, Music Video, etc. sub-categories; and there was one Grand Prix winner.

Last night, 10 April 2018, marked the first-ever African edition of the Ciclope festival – a leading international awards show which recognises exceptional craft in moving image. The African festival, which received over 150 submissions across 16 categories, was hosted at Cape Town’s new critically acclaimed Museum of Contemporary Art, Zeitz MOCAA.

Francisco Condorelli, director of Ciclope, commented, “Our panel of local and international Jury Members was impressed by the quality of work submitted across the continent; submissions which showcased not only innovative and creative execution – but importantly – technical expertise.

“This year’s entries have set a high benchmark for future regional legs, and we are encouraged by the success of the inaugural African edition of Ciclope, as well as the support received from the local industry.

“I would like to extend a thank you to all jury members, speakers, sponsors, organisers, attendees and entrants for playing a part in making Ciclope Africa a reality. We look forward to the next one,” said Condorelli.

No, you can’t eat them.
But if you’re lucky enough to take one home, you CAN display it on your shelf and feel annoyingly smug.
