The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) is officially seeking nominations for the Gawad CCP Para sa Sining, the highest honor the institution bestows upon the country’s creative vanguards.
This award recognizes individuals and groups in architecture, dance, film and broadcast arts, literature, music, theater, and visual arts who have consistently produced outstanding work or pioneered a distinct style that has fundamentally enriched their craft.
Beyond the traditional disciplines, the award also highlights those who have made significant contributions to the cultural landscape of their home regions. It further honors the "architects of culture"—the researchers, curators, and administrators whose behind-the-scenes efforts have strengthened Philippine heritage.
Additionally, the Tanging Parangal ng CCP will be awarded to government or private sector entities for their exceptional support in developing the local arts scene.
Recipients will be honored with a cash prize, a formal citation, and a medal during a ceremony scheduled for September at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo.
The public is encouraged to nominate those who have shaped the trajectory of Filipino artistry. Submissions must be sent to gawadccp@culturalcenter.gov.ph no later than 31 July 2026.
