SHE AWARDS 2024 PROCESS

  1. Open submission for top 30 entrepreneurs in each category in each age group across Africa (the eight participating countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia and South Africa);
  2. A nominee selection panel (“Nominee Selection Panel”) set up by the Organizers decides on the top 30 founders per category to make it to the list;
  3. The list of nominees is released to the public for voting in each category;
  4. An executive voting panel (“Executive Voting Panel”), comprised of recognizable, respected socio-business personalities in the participating countries, will then contribute 40% to the tally of votes whilst the public contributes 60% in the final voting round to determine the winner in each category and the overall SHE Founder of the Year winner in each country;
  5. Once the category winners have been determined in each country (i.e. the 4 category winners) in each age group, these individuals will then enter into the second phase of voting pitting them against their category winning counterparts in the other countries competing for the African category trophy, with 60% of the determination being by the public and 40% by the African college of executive Voting Panel comprised of all the country representatives.
