Tukuza Awards

Tukuza Awards is a Kenyan annual Gospel award that is organized in different parts of the country. The award is essentially geared towards uplifting, appreciating and awarding various talents within the gospel industry (Quincy Creative, 2024> ). Other than gospel artists, the award also celebrates personalities in the media industry such as those working for radio, TV, dancers and other gospel ministers (<Tukuza Awards, 2024). Every year, artists who make it at the top receive various awards including trophies, certificates, opportunities for music recording, media tours to selected media houses and other amazing gift vouchers (Tukuza Awards, 2024). History The Tukuza Awards was first launched in 2005 by Boniface Milimo alongside a group of brethren from diverse churches with a zeal to promote talents and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. The interdenominational Christian Organization got registered in the same year it was launched, that is 2005 (Quincy Creative, 2024). Milimo is currently the managing director of this organization. Since its launch, the Tukuza Network has been organizing a series of events each year in different counties and regions within Kenya with the purpose of reaching unidentified talents in communities. The network is also extended its operations in neighboring countries including Uganda and Tanzania ( Mbarikiwa Media Ministry, 2024).
