According to the CEO of Carbon AV, Kojo Soboh, nominators can submit the names of their changemakers by logging onto https://emyafrica.com/the-emy-africa-awards/nominate/ to make a nomination.
He said, “Who inspires greatness in you? Who’s shaping the future, setting new standards, and driving change across Africa and beyond? This is your moment to celebrate them. As we mark a decade of honouring excellence, your voice matters more than ever, nominate those who inspire greatness.”
Kojo Soboh, during the launch of the 10th anniversary, stated that when EMY Africa was started almost ten years ago, the goal was simple: to celebrate men making a difference. He added that over the years, that mission had grown.
“Our platform has expanded to include women, young people, organisations, and ideas that are shaping the future of Africa. Now, as we mark a decade of telling these stories, we’re rethinking what EMY stands for; literally and in spirit. We’re still EMY Africa. But we no longer stand for Exclusive Men of the Year. We now stand for something broader: Evolve. Motivate. Yield,” he stated.
