About Soma Awards
The Soma Awards recognizes outstanding individuals and companies that use social media to transform lives.
The Awards made a debut in 2013 and this year marks the 5th edition of the awards.
Eyeballs Africa LTD organizes the event in partnership with other sponsors. Other popular sponsors are Safaricom, Vintage Concepts, and Xpose.
The selection process starts with the nomination, then shortlisting, next comes voting, and finally the Award event.
The Awards consider the contribution of nominees on various social media platforms. These are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Blog.
Just like any other awards, there is the eligibility and criteria. The 2018 Soma Awards may be one year away but it is never too early to be informed. Learn more about the eligibility and guidelines for the Soma Awards here.
