The Harness

Designed by Ugandan-based creative house, Addmaya, the accolade takes the form of a locally crafted basked called a 'Kibo', a respected ornament in Ugandan culture. With the sun at its centre, the accolade symbolises the harvest of an outstanding level of greatness. We believe its a fitting souvenir for the iKon award winners.
