The organisers of the Trendupp Awards have officially announced that public nominations are now open for the 2025 edition of the prestigious event.
The annual event, which is in its fifth edition, honours influencers, content creators, and brands excelling in the use of social media across diverse fields and platforms.
In a statement shared with TheCable Lifestyle on Monday, the organisers described the upcoming edition as a milestone, reinforcing its reputation as the “standard for excellence in digital creativity”.
“This year’s milestone edition celebrates five years of setting the standard for excellence in digital creativity, storytelling, and cultural impact,” the statement reads.
“Since 2021, Trendupp Awards has grown from a bold idea into a Pan-African movement, spotlighting the extraordinary talents who use social media as a force for influence, innovation, and change.”
Reflecting on the awards’ growth, Tiwalola Olanubi, the founder of Trendupp Africa, said the event has expanded to become “the benchmark for digital influence across Africa”.
