How we judge

FSCA-minded guardrails. We celebrate education and conduct — never returns, stock picks, trading signals or product pushes.

Education, not performance

Awards recognise clear teaching and content quality. We do not score investment returns or “calls”.

Disclose partnerships

Nominees must disclose paid partnerships and sponsorships on their content.

Advice needs an FSP

Creators who give financial advice must hold a valid FSP number, checked against the FSCA register.

Public + panel

Public votes are combined with an independent judging panel. Ceremony: Johannesburg, venue TBC.

The energy is building

Original teaser visuals — creators, stage lights, Joburg night vibes. No fake nominees. No invented partners.
