The Andhra Pradesh government has announced that applications are now being accepted for the Nandi Natakotsavalu 2025, a state‑level theatre award programme.
The Department of Culture of Andhra Pradesh has issued a public notice inviting artists, theatre groups and production houses to submit proposals for the Nandi Natakotsavalu 2025. The programme, which recognises excellence in drama, dance‑drama and related performing arts, is scheduled to culminate with an awards ceremony later in the year.
Applicants are required to fill out the online form on the official state portal and attach details of their recent productions, cast and crew, and any previous accolades. The deadline for submissions has been set for 30 November 2024, after which a panel of experts will evaluate the entries based on artistic merit, originality and cultural relevance.
The initiative forms part of the government’s broader effort to promote regional arts and provide a platform for emerging talent. Successful nominees will receive cash prizes, certificates and the opportunity to showcase their work at state‑sponsored cultural festivals.
Organisers have urged participants to adhere to the stipulated guidelines and to ensure that all supporting documents are authentic. Further information, including eligibility criteria and the selection timeline, is available on the Andhra Pradesh Culture Department website.
