Trendupp Africa, organisers of Nigeria’s first and foremost award for Influencers and Content Creators, proudly unveil the nominees for the fourth edition of her prestigious awards initiative, Trendupp Awards. The award honours Influencers, Content Creators and brands excelling in their audacious use of social media across diverse fields and platforms.
Under the theme “The Force of Influence,” Trendupp Awards will honour 17 winners during the main ceremony this year. These winners will be selected from a pool of 102 audacious nominees across 17 categories by a Judging Council consisting of renowned media personalities and thought leaders across Africa, including Busola Tejumola, Do2DTun, Denrele Edun, Yinka Adebayo, Aisha Augie amongst Others. The winner’s selection process will be based on three key criteria: creativity, engagement, and consistency.
This year’s awards introduced two exciting new categories: “Force of The Pod” and “Force of Influence (International).” The Force of The Pod category aims to recognise Influencers and Content Creators who effectively use podcasts as a medium for education, engagement, and impact. While the Force of Influence (International) category will recognize creators who command the highest influence in the international social media space.
