Awards
Awards voting with categories, judges and sponsors
From public nominations to the envelope on stage — collect entries, take Mobile Money votes across every category, and release results when the ceremony reaches them.
Designed for multi-category shows
Awards shows fall apart on admin: twenty categories, hundreds of nominees, sponsors who want visibility, and a results sheet that has to stay confidential until the night. AfricaDecides handles all four in one project.
Nominees are grouped by category with their own leaderboards. Voters browse categories on one page and pay per boost with Mobile Money. You decide, per project, whether the public sees standings at all.
What you can set up
- Unlimited award categories, each with its own nominee list and standings
- A public nomination form with a review-and-approve step
- Mobile Money and card voting, with boost bundles you choose
- A judging panel scoring against your rubric, weighted against public votes
- Sponsor logos, links and promoted placements
- Results kept private until you publish them
- Ticketed entry for the ceremony, verified by QR at the door
Announcing results without a dispute
Every public vote is backed by a confirmed payment and every judge score is recorded against the judge who gave it. When you publish, the numbers on stage are the same numbers in your dashboard — and you can show any nominee exactly how their total was reached.
Common questions
Can I run many award categories at once?
Yes. Each category has its own nominees and its own leaderboard, and voters move between categories on the same page.
Can nominations come from the public?
Yes. Publish a nomination form, review what comes in, and promote the entries you approve into voting categories.
Can I hide the leaderboard until the ceremony?
Yes. Choose whether standings are public, visible to organisers only, or hidden until you publish the result.
Can sponsors be featured?
Yes. Add sponsor logos and links to your project page and category pages, and run promoted placements for partners.
