The Spicy Awards seeks to reward and celebrate game-changers regardless of their age or status who are actively contributing to their fields, those impacting the margins of society; the Activists, Creatives, Entrepreneurs, Initiators and Innovators. These are ethical entrepreneurs and organization who have inspiring stories to tell as they provide critical goods or services to the underserved by creating innovative solutions to tackle poverty and or injustice from within by challenging cultural norms and building new collaborations that are creating real global impact that is both scalable and replicable. This distinctiveness is what sets Spicy Awards apart.

Our Jury is tasked to seek these outstanding activists, creatives, entrepreneurs, initiators and innovators in the public, private and non-profit sectors and will recognize attributes such as achievements in their initiatives, experience and innovation, vision, leadership and community impact. Our categories cover a wide range of all the various sectors you can think of ranging from; Agriculture, Creative, Education, Environment, Financial, Healthcare, Industry, Media, Technology, and Tourism among others.

We want to do much more than just congratulate them and give them a trophy. The Spicy Awards exist because we truly believe that individual social change leaders and businesses with an entrepreneurial attitude, growth mindset and systems approach, have a key role to play towards tackling poverty or injustice in a community. We believe that putting the spotlight on these individuals will not only celebrate them but also create stronger, more successful, innovative and ethical individual or business communities that help address these challenges and give them a voice and opportunities to the next generation of social change catalysts while nurturing a positive attitude to impact their backyards.

The Award is about building a Spicy Circle, the social change ideas summit. This is a platform to learn, share and grow ideas that inspire the development of engaged and ethical business practices that foster sustainability.
