The female-focused social enterprise, She Lead Africa, is allowing the public pick out one of the five finalists for its 2015 female entrepreneur showcase, via the People’s Choice Awards.
It’s the first time the organization is doing so.
“This year, the She Leads Africa community has the opportunity to vote for their favourite of 12 semi-finalists and the entrepreneur with the most votes will automatically become a finalist and will pitch at the Entrepreneur Showcase,” the organizers say.
The finalists will contest for the $15,000 cash prize at the finals set for between September 24th and 26th in Lagos.
She Leads Africa began accepting nominations for the people’s choice awards on July 28 and nominations will close August 4.
The 2015 showcase is SLA’s second edition, and the organizers say it received over 300 applications for this edition.
