To vote in the BAKE Awards 2018, you will need to visit bakeawards.co.ke/vote. Voting will be limited to one vote per person and a SMS verification code will be sent once a vote has been completed.

This year’s competition began on January 11th, 2018, where BAKE accepted submissions in the various categories. Thereafter, a panel of judges selected the best 5 nominees from the successful submissions in each category.

The BAKE Awards, since its inception in 2012, has recognized and awarded the best in Kenyan blogging, in different categories, every year. It is organized by the Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE), an organization that promotes online content creation and free expression in Kenya.
