About BAKE Awards
Launched in 2012, the BAKE Awards is the platform for recognising the resilience and influence of Kenyan digital storytellers.
This year’s process kicked off in September with a call for submissions. Due to the overwhelming public interest, the team extended the submissions deadline to October 23. After that final cut-off, a panel of experts began the meticulous review of all entries.
The panel used strict criteria to vet for creativity, consistency, impact, relevance, and authenticity, ensuring that only the most outstanding creators made it onto this final, prestigious list.
“We’ve seen firsthand how creators use their voice not just for fun, but for education, advocacy, and nation-building,” BAKE Chairperson Kennedy Kachwanya said. “Now, it’s your turn. Jump in, vote, and support your favourite creators who represent Kenya’s digital excellence.”
