The TECNO Glory Night Awards, a joint initiative with TikTok Live and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), recently celebrated the creative prowess of pan-African key opinion leaders (KOLs) empowered by TECNO’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The event, held in Morocco, was part of TECNO’s “Power Your Moment” campaign, which was launched during the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
The campaign’s theme has resonated with KOLs across the continent, inspiring the creation of a vast array of creative content that showcases their “power moments.” As the Official Global Partner of AFCON, TECNO brought together Africa’s leading digital voices for a landmark celebration, recognizing the influencers who embody the spirit of “Power Your Moment” through their creativity, authenticity, and cultural impact.
The awards ceremony presented five major categories, each acknowledging a unique dimension of creative excellence. The winners included influencers from Nigeria, Tanzania, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Cameroon, Uganda, and Senegal, among others. The awards recognized exceptional storytelling, visual artistry, creative spark, and outstanding data performance, as well as long-term creator partners who align with TECNO’s brand philosophy.
The winners were selected through the #MyPowerMoment campaign, a continent-wide call for entries that invited creators to submit original photo or video content inspired by one of four themes: Power your Glory, Power your Rise, Power your Joy, and Power your Creativity. The submissions captured moments of personal transformation, pure happiness, or imagination-driven expression, reflecting the diversity of stories that define African digital culture today.
The TECNO Glory Night Awards not only celebrated achievement but also reaffirmed the brand’s commitment to empowering Africa’s creative ecosystem. By bringing together influencers from across the continent at AFCON, TECNO strengthens the bridge between sport, technology, and culture. The brand’s investment in the creator community aligns with its ambition to foster deeper integration between its technology offerings and the cultural forces shaping African markets.
In addition to the awards ceremony, TECNO curated an exclusive product experience zone, where KOLs had the opportunity to test the brand’s latest devices, including AI-driven photography features tailored for content creators. The event marked a defining moment for Africa’s next generation of storytellers, who now carry their trophies as symbols of recognition, visibility, and their rising role in shaping Africa’s digital narrative.
