About HTC Excellence Awards
Who We Are
Honoring Change. Inspiring Impact.
The HTC Excellence Awards is a premier recognition platform celebrating outstanding individuals, creatives, and organisations across Kenya — from film directors and musicians to media personalities, fashion designers, business leaders, and community champions.
Now in its 2nd Edition, the platform goes beyond recognition by convening leaders across government, faith, media, beauty, and business for dialogue, networking, and strategic engagement. It serves as a catalyst for visibility, collaboration, and community development.
The 2026 edition spans 70 award categories across 8 groups. Voting opens July 2026 with the Gala Night in August 2026 at Nairobi, Kenya.
