The Digitally Fit Awards (DFA) Person of the Year Edition celebrates CEOs, Champions, Experts & Influencers who are leading Digital Transformation across East Africa. With 13 editions completed, DFA is the region's largest corporate-attendance targeted awards, recognising individuals who are shaping the digital economy. This is the only award where your participation directly leads to your personal brand growth and market visibility across East Africa.
You are eligible if: (1) You lead a firm that has deployed digital tools in its operations; OR (2) You have an active website or active social media presence; OR (3) You are changing people's lives through the internet; OR (4) You have a product or service that helps other people get digital. If any of the above describes you, you qualify — nominate yourself or someone you know today!
Browse the award categories, find the one that best fits the nominee, and click the "Nominate" button. Fill in the nominee's name, contact details, and a brief description of their digital impact. Submit the form and our team will review the entry. Self-nomination is allowed and encouraged — you know your story best!
Nominations close on 13th May 2026 at 11:59 PM (East Africa Time). Ensure your nomination is submitted well before this deadline — late entries cannot be accepted. The sooner you nominate, the more time the committee has to review your entry.
After nominations close on 13th May 2026, the DFA committee reviews all submissions against the eligibility criteria. Qualifying nominees are shortlisted and officially unveiled to the public approximately one week after the nomination deadline. Unveiled nominees then proceed to the public voting phase.
Voting opens after the official unveiling of nominees. The public supports their favourite nominees by purchasing vote bundles on the platform — each bundle translates directly into votes for your chosen nominee. The nominees with the most votes in each category are ranked accordingly and compete for the grand prizes at the Award Gala Dinner.
Grand prizes for the Person of the Year Edition include: a 2-day CEOs Networking Maasai Mara Tour (fully paid accommodation for the Top 6 combined most-voted nominees); 20% Cash Back on all votes received; a FREE product or service listing on the online catalog; automatic nomination for the East Africa Edition; an Award Gala Dinner Trophy & Certificate; and a feature story opportunity to tell the story behind your brand and its digital impact.
Nomination is completely FREE. Voting is powered by vote bundles which can be purchased on the platform — these bundles count as votes for your chosen nominee and also contribute to the cash-back prize pool. There is no mandatory fee to participate in the nomination process.
Yes! You may nominate as many individuals as you like across different categories. A nominee can also appear in more than one category if they qualify for multiple awards. Each nomination and each category is assessed independently by the DFA committee.
