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
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
Amina W.
Producer, Kenya Arts & Culture Awards

Your Questions, Answered

Questions? Answers!

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.
