Competition for the Most Promising category is neck to neck as time draws nearer for the 2016 Safaricom Sports Personality of the Year (SOYA) Awards slated for January 19 in Nairobi.

It’s evident the category has attracted star participants and is likely to be a close call in both boys and girls contests.
