Orchestrated by CeraVe, the world’s #1 dermatologist-recommended skincare brand, in an exclusive strategic partnership with Konga Health, Nigeria’s leading distributor of premium skincare and beauty products, the event celebrated emerging creators with CeraVe-sponsored trips to Paris, N2 Million and other amazing prizes.

Making its debut on the African continent, CerAwards 2026 chose Nigeria as its first destination, a decision made possible through the direct result of the robust infrastructure and market trust built by Konga Health.

This partnership between both brands reflects a shared commitment to driving accessibility, authenticity, and innovation within the beauty industry, while placing Nigerian talent firmly on the global stage.

Hosted by renowned media personality Bisola Aiyeola, the event delivered a seamless blend of entertainment and industry relevance.

From the outset, it was clear that CerAwards was not just another awards ceremony, but a platform designed to reshape narratives, connecting skincare, storytelling, and commerce in a uniquely Nigerian way.

The gala brought together the beauty industry elites, Nollywood stars, top influencers, and a new generation of digital entrepreneurs, all united by a singular vision of excellence.

Delivering his address at the event, Leo Stan Ekeh, chairman of Zinox Group, emphasised the strategic importance of innovation and excellence in building sustainable industries.

“What we are witnessing today is the convergence of technology, creativity, and commerce,” he stated.

“At Konga, and particularly through Konga Health, we are committed to pursuing excellence in everything we do, ensuring that Nigerians have access to genuine products while also creating platforms that drive economic value. Technology remains the backbone of modern economies, and initiatives like CerAwards demonstrate how it can unlock new opportunities for growth, especially among young creators.”

CerAwards 2026 attracted over 800 entries from content creators across the country, reflecting the depth of talent within Nigeria’s digital and creative economy.

Following a rigorous screening process by a distinguished jury comprising Funke Akindele (Nollywood actress, producer and director), Uzor Arukwe (award-winning actor), Anais Routhiau (CeraVe Africa), Ijeoma Balogun (CEO, Redrick PR), Subuola Oyeleye (Founder, Beauty Hut Africa), and Yvonne Enwerem (VP, Konga Health), the top 64 entries were shortlisted.

The competition, which recorded over 65,000 public votes, eventually expanded beyond its initial structure to accommodate 28 finalists, underscoring the exceptional quality of submissions.

Participants competed across six categories: Educational, Original, Viral Video, Cleansing, Body Moisturising, and Let’s Get Creative.

The award categories spanned the full spectrum of the CeraVe experience, from educational content to viral creativity.

The awards produced six grand prize winners. Three exceptional creators won the ultimate “CeraTicket,” an all-expenses-paid trip to France to experience the heart of global beauty: Perpetua Ugwuegede (Body Moisturising), Boluwatife Lawal (Educational Content), and Iyanuoluwa Sowemimo (Let’s Get Creative).

Three winners received N2 Million worth of premium content creation gear: Beryl Inegbenose (Original Content), Precious Ernest (Cleansing), and Joseph Shaka Momodu (Viral Video).

The 1st runners-up were each awarded N1 million, while several other participants walked away with N500,000 in consolation prizes and gifts.

The event also featured special Nollywood Recognition Awards presented to Funke Akindele and Uzor Arukwe for their outstanding contributions to the film industry, further cementing the intersection between beauty, storytelling, and entertainment.

Beyond the awards, CerAwards 2026 represents a broader shift in how beauty brands engage with consumers in Africa.

Through its partnership with Konga Health, CeraVe has tapped into a robust commerce and distribution ecosystem that prioritises authenticity, accessibility, and customer trust.

For Konga Health, the success of CerAwards reinforces its position as a trusted gateway for premium beauty brands and a champion of Nigerian creativity.

As the platform continues to expand its offerings and partnerships, it remains focused on delivering value that resonates with modern consumers.

Under the leadership of Yvonne Enwerem, VP of Konga Health, the platform has become the exclusive custodian of CeraVe’s brand integrity in the region, ensuring that consumers are protected from counterfeits while enjoying seamless access to world-class dermatological solutions.

Ultimately, CerAwards 2026 has not only celebrated excellence, it has redefined what is possible when global brands and local platforms work together.

This strategic seasonal initiative promises to deliver exceptional value to Nigerian consumers through mouthwatering deals across multiple categories, offering Nigerians a timely opportunity to shop genuine products and celebrate the season for less.

The Easter Homecoming campaign represents Konga’s strategic response to the seasonal surge in consumer demand as Nigerians prepare for Easter festivities and family reunions.

Recognizing that homecoming periods create unique shopping needs, from gifting tech and entertainment upgrades, to fashion refreshes and kitchen essentials.

Konga has curated a comprehensive promotional calendar designed to address every aspect of the Easter celebration experience.

Commenting on the launch, a Konga representative noted that the campaign goes beyond discounts.

“Easter Homecoming is about creating meaningful value for our customers. We understand the importance of this season, and we are committed to making quality products more accessible while delivering a convenient and reliable shopping experience.”

With consumer spending typically rising during the Easter period, Konga is leveraging its robust infrastructure and strategic partnerships to provide customers with compelling offers that meet both everyday needs and aspirational desires.

At the core of the campaign is a strong value proposition built on variety, pricing, and trust. Shoppers can expect significant discounts on a wide range of products, including electronics, home appliances, fashion, beauty, and fast-moving consumer goods.

These deals are carefully curated to ensure that customers enjoy both quality and value, without compromising on authenticity.

In addition, Konga’s marketplace will feature exclusive brand partnerships, giving customers direct access to genuine products from leading global and local manufacturers.

This not only guarantees product authenticity but also reinforces consumer confidence, an increasingly critical factor in today’s digital commerce environment.

Shoppers can also enjoy significant discounts on Starlink and massive savings across the official stores of global brands like Samsung, LG, Anker, Black & Decker, TGI, Unilever, Nivea, CeraVe, and La Roche-Posay.

By purchasing through these official storefronts, customers are guaranteed 100% authentic products with the deepest price slashes of the season.

The campaign is strategically timed to give Nigerian shoppers ample opportunity to plan and finalize their purchases well ahead of the holiday.

By leveraging KongaNow, customers can bypass the typical logistical hurdles of the season, ensuring families can receive all orders delivered before the Easter weekend so families can focus entirely on their celebrations.

The Konga Easter Homecoming campaign also complements Konga’s broader mission of democratizing access to quality products and services across Nigeria.

By delivering exceptional value during a culturally significant period, Konga reinforces its position as more than a commercial platform, it’s a partner in Nigerian celebrations and family moments.

As Nigeria’s premier e-commerce destination, Konga continues setting industry standards for customer value, service excellence, and innovative shopping solutions.

The Easter Homecoming campaign exemplifies this commitment, transforming seasonal shopping from a stressful obligation into an enjoyable, rewarding experience.
