Last day to vote for Forbes Person of the Year

The awards, set to take place in Nairobi, Kenya at the end of November, celebrate 'the individual who, for better or worse, has had the most influence on events of the year gone by' and Forbes Africa has welcomed the participation of the public.

Following suggestions from the public, the top five most voted for candidates will be posted online in a poll and comprise a portion of what will be the judges of the Person of the Year Awards' final decision.

To nominate who you think should be Person of the Year, email Forbes Africa at moc.acirfasebrof@3102ytop with the name of person in the subject line with a 50-100 word motivation.
