The winning entry will receive a cash prize of R20 000, along with the distinction of being the first-ever recipient of this prestigious award, says the DStv Content Creator Awards.
"At Amarula, we believe that Africa's spirit is one of unparalleled optimism and rich cultural diversity. The marula fruit is itself a vessel of infectious African energy that inspires positivity," says Maisha Mamabolo, brand manager of white spirits and liqueurs at Heineken Beverages.
"The Spirit of Africa Award is more than just a category; it's a celebration of the storytellers who bring this ray of sunshine to life in ways that inspire and connect us all. We're excited to see how content creators across South Africa will interpret and showcase what makes our continent so extraordinary," says Mamabolo.
