Forex Awards Kenya 2026 has officially opened public nominations following its launch in Nairobi. The initiative is organised by SPM Buzz in partnership with comedian Eddie Butita, Tony Mwirigi and 2mbili.
The awards aim to recognise outstanding individuals and organisations shaping Kenya’s growing retail forex industry. Organisers have announced more than 30 award categories covering traders, educators, mentors and industry leaders. However, they are releasing the categories in phases through their official platforms.
Kenyans Can Now Submit Nominations
Forex Awards Kenya 2026 has adopted an open public nomination process. Interested individuals can nominate themselves or other deserving traders, mentors and trading platforms.
The official awards website hosts the nomination portal and available category listings. Meanwhile, SPM Buzz continues sharing updates through its social media platforms.
According to the organisers, the nomination process will allow members of the public to recognise individuals making contributions to Kenya’s forex trading community.
How the Nomination and Voting Process Works
After the nomination phase, the awards will proceed to public voting. However, the process will also involve an additional verification stage. A committee of industry experts will review nominees’ trading records and relevant performance data.
The exercise aims to establish credibility and promote transparency throughout the selection process. The organisers will announce the eventual winners after completing the evaluation and voting stages.
Forex Awards Kenya Announces 30+ Categories
The organisers have confirmed that the awards will feature more than 30 categories. The categories are being unveiled gradually as the event preparations continue.
The announced focus areas cover several sections of Kenya’s forex ecosystem. These include individual traders, rising trading talents and consistent market analysts. Other categories will recognise forex educators, mentorship programmes and academies promoting financial literacy.
The awards will also recognise brokers, trading platforms, analytical tools and customer support services. The full category list is expected to become available through the official awards website.
Event to Feature Trading Sessions and Masterclasses
Beyond recognising industry players, Forex Awards Kenya 2026 will incorporate educational activities. The initiative will feature live trading sessions and masterclasses. These activities aim to promote financial literacy and provide insights into Kenya’s retail forex industry.
They will also create opportunities for traders and industry professionals to share their experiences. The organisers hope to highlight the people and stories behind the country’s growing trading community.
Eddie Butita and 2mbili Back Forex Awards Initiative
Eddie Butita and 2mbili are among the personalities supporting the initiative alongside SPM Buzz and Tony Mwirigi. Videos shared by SPM Buzz TV and its social media platforms captured moments from the official launch.
The organisers also explained the vision behind the awards and their nomination process. With public nominations now underway, attention turns to the traders, educators and platforms who will emerge as nominees.
Forex Awards Kenya 2026 is positioning itself as a platform for recognising contributions to the country’s retail forex industry.
