There is no cost to enter, but entrants are required to register their blog, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook page or YouTube profile (or a combination of these properties) on Webfluential. This platform scientifically measures the reach, resonance and relevance of social influencers on these platforms with over 1000 active, legitimate followers. .

The Awards also give brands and the marketing industry an objective measurement of the most relevant online and social influencers to include in their campaigns, making sure they achieve the greatest possible impact for their marketing spend.

Entrants will need to update their profiles on Webfluential, as all participants and winners will be measured on the platform’s latest analytical metrics. The competition is only open to permanent residents of any country in Africa.

Entries for the awards close on 19April 2016 at midnight GMT+2, and results will be announced on 3 June 2016 via the competition’s Twitter handle, @African_Blogger, from 11h00 GMT+2.
