MAKE IT POP Awards is a creative organisation that rewards
and recognises South African artists and designers who
work on rebranding.
We are a creative organisation that rewards and recognises South African artists and designers who work on rebranding. This is for creatives who have the skill and talent to keep great ideas alive by transforming something straightforward into something exciting, creative, imaginative, relevant, and refreshing.
In essence, it is about genuine rebranding, more like turning waste drums and old tires into stunning furniture or turning an old logo design into an authentic and versatile new design, or even drawing inspiration from nature like taking an owl sound and making a dope hip-hop beat.
At MAKE IT POP AWARDS, we believe in the power of art and design to transform and uplift communities. We’re on a mission to celebrate and honor visual artists and designers who are reshaping the identity of Southern Africa through their incredible work in rebranding.
Imagine a world where every stroke of a paintbrush or click of a mouse has the potential to make a difference. That’s the world we envision, where creativity thrives and artists are valued for their unique contributions.
Here, we see you for who you are – a talented creator with the ability to inspire change. We value your creativity, your passion, and your dedication to your craft. And most importantly, we recognize the impact you’re making in shaping the visual landscape of Southern Africa.
“We see your vision. We value your talent. We recognize your impact.” This message conveys our deep appreciation for the artists and designers whose creativity captivates and inspires us. It communicates that their unique perspectives are not just noticed but deeply appreciated and celebrated.
