The Cultural Affairs Awards of the Western Cape are hosted annually by the Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) to recognise and celebrate the cultural, linguistic and heritage excellence in the province. The occasion is a vital opportunity to proudly showcase the diversity of the province’s cultural landscape. 

DCAS hereby extends an invitation to the public to nominate individuals or groups residing in the Western Cape who have excelled in making a difference in one or more of these fields and have, in the process, substantially contributed towards realising the Western Cape Government’s strategic objectives.

Since 1999 these prestigious awards acknowledged many individuals and organisations that have made a significant impact in the Western Cape.
