Announcing the BAKE Awards 2016 nominees

James Wamathai Blog, History 2016

We are now at the most exciting bit of this year’s BAKE Awards; the announcement of the nominees and the launch of the voting phase.

This follows a grueling exercise, by judges, who sifted through a whopping 4,899 blog submissions that were received. The judges who were tasked with selecting the best 5 blogs in each category are:

1. Mikul Shah, Director at EatOut
2. Ahmed Salim, GM at Qube Ltd
3. Terryanne Chebet, Senior Anchor & Associate Editor at Citizen TV
4. Muthoni Maingi, Digital Manager at Safaricom

The nominees for this year’s awards include: magunga.com, bizna.co.ke, lyraoko.com and pendolamama.co.ke.

Voting in the awards begin today and will close on 1st May 2016. To vote for your favourite blog in the BAKE Awards, visit bakeawards.co.ke/vote. Votes will be limited to one vote per person.

The BAKE Awards 2016 were launched on 8th January, which also coincided with the launch of the submission phase. Blogs were submitted in the competition until 10th February 2016. The judges then took over and selected their best 5 in all the categories. The winners of the competition will be announced at a gala event on 7th May 2016.
