This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/octopus-africa-energy-entrepreneurship-award-2026
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] Business based in Sub-Saharan Africa
[ ] Running your own start-up
[ ] Energy start-up no more than five years old
[ ] Fewer than 20 full-time employees (Octopus can approve more)
[ ] Not an employee or family member of Octopus Energy Group

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 11 December 2026, in 50 days.
- Aim to send it by 8 December 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
