What Awards Organizers Are Saying
Hear from organizers who run successful awards programs with Digitally Fit Awards.
"Running the Africa AI Future Awards with 95 categories and 1,100+ nominees would've been
chaos without DFE. The nominations workflow and multi-channel voting saved us months of manual work."
James K.
Awards Director, Africa AI Future Awards
"The USSD voting channel was a game-changer. Over 60% of our votes came through *657*65#
— voters didn't need smartphones or internet. The audit logs gave our sponsors complete confidence."
Amina W.
Producer, Kenya Arts & Culture Awards
"The financial engine is brilliant — automatic revenue splits, instant commission tracking,
and one-click payouts. We ran our entire tech awards gala with 500 attendees and QR check-in — flawless."

Pricing
Transparent Pricing for Awards of Every Scale
We only succeed when your awards succeed. Choose the plan that fits your program.
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our awards platform.
You set up categories and open nominations. The public submits nominees through a branded form. You can
approve, reject, or bulk-manage entries, transfer nominees between categories, and export the list to Excel.
Once nominations close, promote finalists directly into voting categories with one click.
We support four payment/voting channels: USSD (*657*65# — works on any phone, no internet),
M-Pesa STK Push (one-tap payment prompt), Paystack (card, bank transfer,
USSD), and PawaPay/InstaSend for pan-African mobile money. You can enable or disable
channels per event.
You configure vote bundles (e.g., 5 votes for KES 50). Voters purchase bundles through any enabled payment
channel and cast their votes for nominees. Revenue is automatically split between you and the platform via
Paystack subaccounts. You can create multiple bundle tiers and set per-category voting rules.
Every vote is tracked with a full audit log — voter identity, timestamp, channel, and amount. Admins can
invalidate suspicious votes with one click. Voting codes can be one-time or reusable. Our USSD reconciliation
tools ensure every payment is matched to a valid vote. The dashboard flags unusual voting patterns
automatically.
Absolutely. Your public microsite is fully white-label — custom domain, branding, colors, cover images, and
banners. The site includes 15+ page types: Home, Nominees, Vote, Tickets, Polls, Gallery, Blog, Sponsors,
FAQ, About, and Contact. Enterprise clients get complete CSS control.
Revenue from ticket sales and vote bundles is automatically split via Paystack subaccounts. You see your
running balance after commission deductions in real time. Payouts follow a workflow — Pending → Approved →
Processing → Completed — directly to your bank or mobile money account. Full transaction ledgers are
exportable.
