For many decades, the Tricity has been a fertile ground for immense talent, dedicatedly promoting India's rich cultural heritage through the creative realms of Dance, Drama, and Music, earning recognition on both national and international stages.

While the hard work of a select few, particularly senior or veteran artists, has garnered national, state, or other prestigious awards, recognition for Tricity talent has been sporadic, leaving much room for growth.

CSNA is thrilled to introduce the inaugural CSNA Chandigarh Kala Pratibha Puruskar, a historic initiative by the Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Akademi under the visionary leadership of Chairman Sudesh Sharma. For the first time in 44 years, Chandigarh-Tricity will celebrate the incredible talent of Tricity artists in the domains of Dance, Drama, and Music.

Now, with the introduction of Chandigarh's own CSNA Chandigarh Kala Pratibha Puruskar, the window of recognition and appreciation shall widen, offering ample opportunities for both young, aspiring, promising talents and seasoned artists alike.

If you are an artist working for the past many years in the Tricity in any domain of Dance, Drama, and Music, a golden opportunity is knocking at your doorstep. Nominate yourself ( Check your eligibility on the self nominating form) and be a part of these prestigious awards.

Let’s celebrate the artistic brilliance of our community and Tricity together.
