The iKon Awards - Film & Television is an awarding programme[1] that recognizes and rewards implementers and personalities in the Film and Television and Mainstream Media in Uganda and ultimately, Africa.[2] Founded by Humphrey Nabimanya, the new annual initiative is now presented by SAUTIplus Media Hub.[3][4]

The awards seek to award (recognize and reward formidable implementers including filmmakers and actors), connect (link participants and their interventions/films/show/series to opportunities for resource mobilisation, networking, core organisational development, and publicity) and educate (through one-on-one sessions, webinars, online courses and summits from professionals in the film industry).
