Nominate for AFIA 2026

The African Food Influencers Awards is Africa’s definitive recognition platform for excellence in food, culinary arts, and food industry leadership.

Organised annually, AFIA honours the individuals and brands making a measurable, lasting contribution to Africa’s food ecosystem — across culinary arts, entrepreneurship, media storytelling, and cultural preservation.

The awards are built on three principles that do not change: impact over popularity, independent jury, and zero pay-to-play.
