Organisers of the premium fashion and lifestyle competition, Fayrouz L’Original have
announced that the expression show is now open to fresh graduates and
members of the National Youth Service Corps as well as undergraduates of
Nigerian Universities.
The competition which kicked off last year,
provides a platform for upcoming fashion designers, make-up artistes,
models and photographers to exhibit their talents to the Nigerian
fashion industry and get rewarded in the process.
Amidst
thousands of entries received in the past month and multiple requests
on social media, the competition is not only open to undergraduates but
fresh graduates and youth Corps members as well. Registration has also
been extended to Saturday May 9, 2015; terms and conditions apply.
Speaking on the new developments, Senior Brand manager, Fayrouz Nnenna Ifebigh-Hemeson explained that the reason behind the extension is to accommodate other interested participants.
‘The
decision to extend the closure of entry is so we can allow more
creative young individuals, who are at that stage in their life where
they need to become independent; take charge of this opportunity. So far
the response has been phenomenal and we are excited about it. We hope
that the extra days will give the new applicants, graduates and Youth
Corps members alike, enough time to be a part of the competition’, she said.
Edem Vindah,
the Corporate Affairs Manager, NB Plc added that the brand's
sponsorship of the competition is to further support the growth of the
creative industry. He said, 'Fayrouz as a brand has always associated
itself with the energy and creativity of the Nigerian youth. We have
proven this with different campaigns in the past and we are sure of the
success of this one too'
Registration is currently running on www.fayrouzloriginal.com/ competition/. Auditions
will kick off in May 2015 in different universities across the country
including University of Lagos, the University of Ibadan, the University
of Port Harcourt and the University of Nigeria, Enugu.
