Eligibility Criteria:
To be considered for the Award Nominations, there are several key requirements that applicants must meet. First and foremost, the business must be headquartered in Kenya and primarily operate within the African continent. This ensures that the focus remains on supporting and celebrating enterprises that are deeply rooted in the local African communities.
Additionally, the business must have been in operation for at least 3 years, demonstrating a track record of sustainability and growth. This minimum operational period allows the judges to evaluate the company's stability, adaptability, and long-term potential.
Beyond these baseline criteria, the business must also showcase a strong commitment to city growth and development initiatives. This could include programs, volunteering efforts, donations, or other tangible ways in which the company has positively impacted the lives of those around them. The judges will place a keen focus on assessing the depth and demonstrated outcomes of these community-focused efforts.
Ultimately, the city impact and transformative potential of the business will be a key consideration in the evaluation process. Both self-nominations and third-party nominations are accepted, allowing for a diverse pool of applicants to be considered for this prestigious award.
