 Particularly relevant for this encyclopaedia are the '''[[Rapport Oscars]]''', which refers to a set of seven statuettes, each known as a [[Rapport Oscar]] (also written [[Rapport-Oscar]]''' or '''[[Rapport Oskar]] in [[Afrikaans]]), awarded for excellence in film production.
 An initiative of the [[Rapport]], these awards were inaugurated  in 1975 by the [[Rapport]] newspaper, in collaboration with the film industry, three major film production companies ([[Kinekor]], [[Ster]] and [[Film-Trust]]) and the [[University of Pretoria]], and were instituted to annually recognize and reward excellence in South African film making over the previous twelve months.
-The original seven award categories were:  ''Best Actor, Best Actress,  Best Film'' (awarded to the director), ''Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Newcomer, Best Script'' and ''Best Cinematography''. The first judging panel, picked from a range of experts from various sub-disciplines, consisted of [[Hennie Aucamp]], [[Annie Basson]], [[Ampie Coetzee]], [[William Egan]], [[Ian Ferguson]], [[Robert Mohr]], [[Anna Neethling-Pohl]], [[Kobus Scholtz]], [[Coenie Slabber]], [[Wilna Snyman]], [[Verna Vels]] and [[Herculene Visser]].
+The original seven award categories were:  ''Best Actor, Best Actress,  Best Film'' (awarded to the director), ''Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Newcomer, Best Script'' and ''Best Cinematography''. Each winner receives a bronze statuette  known as the [[Rapport Oscar]], cast from a wooden original designed and made by Pretoria sculptor [[Justinus van der Merwe]].
 The first gala awards ceremony took place in the newly built [[Kine Centre]] in Johannesburg on 20 September, 1975 and would thereafter be held as an annual gala event at various venues.
