The International Somali Awards recognises excellence from Somalis across the globe that has made significant progress and contribution to their communities and individual developments. The winners of the International Somali Awards will be selected through an online transparent nomination and voting process from the public. Each awards category has specific eligibility and assessment criteria.
The public who wishes to nominate success stories must fill out an online form, where they will enter their nominations and select the category to which they belong. In the Categories section, you will be able to see what each award category means.
After nominations are closed, received, and reviewed, an independent, reputable, and transparent selection of judges will look at the nominations received, and each nominee will undergo a vetting process that will evaluate who should be shortlisted in each category.
The judges will select three final nominees for each category, which will be put back on the website, and the public will then vote in each category to determine the winner. Our system will count the final tally, respecting each finalist to ensure integrity, fairness, and transparency. The final winner for each category will be the nominee with the most votes.
The International Somali Awards ceremony will announce the winners, one from each category. The nominees will participate in media interviews and network with VIP guests and attendees. The winner will receive a personalised plaque.
