Janzi Awards aims to provide an inclusive platform to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements, innovations, and diversity in Uganda’s cultural, creative, and performing arts forms.

Awards are named after a Janzi Instrument, an instrument invented by James Ssewakiryanga and inspired by African music.

This instrument is named after the Luganda word for grasshopper, ‘Ejjanzi,’ whose spirit and natural form is reflected in the design and feel of the instrument.
