Annet Nandujja, the co-founder of a traditional Uganda dance troupe named the Planets, has won the first prize in the 2018 National Cultural Heritage Awards.
Nandujja was recognised in the Intangible Cultural Heritage category for helping to preserve traditional Kiganda dances such as Bakisimba, Aamaggunju and Nankasa. The second prize went to the visual artist Taga Nuwagaba, who produced the first ever comprehensive compilation of totems of Buganda.
