More on this year's theme:
Heritage is about where we come from and how that shapes what we create. It encompasses the skills, stories, and traditions passed down through generations, as well as the cultures and experiences that make each of us unique. Our backgrounds and journeys influence how we think, make, and share ideas, shaping who we are as creatives today. By keeping these connections alive, learning from the past while creating for the future, we celebrate what makes creativity truly our own.
Keep an eye on the NDF Website and their Instagram page for further details and announcements.
