This year’s event promises exciting surprises, with nominations driven entirely by data, reflecting audience engagement, trends, and searches on ID Africa’s media platforms: Netng, Neusroom, 234Star, and Orin. Fans will have the chance to vote in 18 out of the 24 categories, honouring celebrities, public figures, and events that shaped Africa’s pop culture over the past year.
