There are two ways to qualify and apply for the Boma Prize for Africa! You can join after successful completion of the Boma Entrepreneurship Program or the Boma Entrepreneurship Masterclass.
Participants who take the Boma Entrepreneurship Program will be required to participate in all in-person pitch contest in their respective countries. This event will be organised and coordinated by the Boma Prize for Africa Country representatives and the top three finalist from each Country will proceed to participate in the semi-finals. Applicants who chose the masterclass route, will go straight into the semi-finals, after the eight weeks masterclass program.
The semi-final event will be a virtual event. All regional finalists will pitch, to secure a spot into the BPFA accelerator Program.
In September, our finalist teams, consisting of both the BEP and BEM entries, will connect with BPFA mentors. They will spend two months refining their business ideas and scalability, through virtual sessions. At the end of the accelerator, the finalists will be nominated by their respective coaches to pitch at the finals event in Ghana.
The finalist from the accelerator program gets an all-expense paid trip, to support their in-person final pitch. This is a live presentation in front of judges in Accra, Ghana. At the end of this presentation, the judges will decide on the winners.
