What surprised me, however, was the incredible quality of the jazz productions. They were world-class, and it was difficult to choose a favorite,\u201d says <strong>Gustav Franzsen<\/strong>, panellist in the Contemporary Music category (open-air concerts and larger groups). <\/p>\n\n<p>Gustav\u2019s colleague in this category, <strong>Laurinda Hofmeyr<\/strong>, says: \u201cSome productions stood out because of the scale and professional quality of the overall production. Others captivated through the astonishing contributions of individual performers, and the positive energy of young groups and their fresh interpretations were simply overwhelming.\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p>Quality is the buzzword among the panel, convened by <strong>Mareli Pretorius<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe provision of excellent lighting equipment was generally impressive. This made it possible to stage performances that incorporated audiovisual elements, which greatly contributed to the theatre experience,\u201d says <strong>Henri\u00ebtta Plattner<\/strong> of the Theatre panel. \u201cThis year, we could see how AI can enhance elements that directors can skillfully employ. On the other hand, it was still delightful to see how directors can continue to surprise audiences through the use of elements such as the living pigeons in <em>Boklied<\/em>, or the live soundtrack in <em>Ek is nie Danie<\/em>. It provides the audience with an experience that TV or film simply cannot.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The winners are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>EasyEquities BOOK PRIZE WINNERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Fiction Top Seller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Antjie Krog <\/strong>(<em>Binnerym van bloed<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Poetry Top Seller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Siphokazi Jonas<\/strong> (<em>Weeping Becomes a River<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Non-fiction Top Seller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Marita van der Vyver<\/strong> (<em>My jaar van vrees en vryheid<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Lifestyle Top Seller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Natani\u00ebl<\/strong> (<em>Bloei + Blom<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>WOW TROPHIES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The WOW Trophies honor a primary school and a high school for outstanding performance in the educational projects of this empowerment initiative (Words Open Worlds) of Stellenbosch University.
