  "account": "The Digital Media Awards have extended their submission deadline to Monday, October 5, 2026, following a surge in requests from creative agencies, brands, publishers, and digital content creators who needed additional time to finalize their work. The extension was announced by the organisation in response to the exceptional quality of entries received so far, reflecting the rapid evolution and creative depth in the digital marketing and content creation sphere.\n\nBrian Njagi, Chair of the Digital Media Awards Committee, expressed his delight with the number of entries currently at 186, stating that the extension aims to provide every creative, agency, and brand the chance to showcase their best work and receive the regional recognition they deserve. The submission process remains online via the official DMA portal, with categories ranging from Film & Film Crafts to Radio & Audio Crafts. The final decision on the winning entries will be made by a jury of regional industry experts and announced at the awards ceremony set for December 11.",
