The 2018 Face of Okija cultural pageant and talent hunt will be different from anything ever seen before.
This is because organisers of the event and sponsor are changing its look.
A statement recently released by Obijackson Foundation h unveiled plans to expand this year’s event to include contestants from the entire Anambra state.
According to the CEO of the foundation Prof Rich Umeh, the Foundation’s purpose is to expand and give more youths the opportunity to share and imbibe the laudable values of the initiative. The theme of this year’s event is “Re-engineering our Moral Standard”.
Rather than the usual emphasis on physical beauty in regular pageants, the ’Face of Okija Cultural Pageant and Okija Rising Talent Hunt’ seek to empower the youths and promote true African values and morals in our youth.
The repackaged event will now see participants displaying their unique African beauty, intelligence and diverse talents.
This year, the grand finale of the event will hold on the 29th of December in Okija, Anambra State. Winners of the competition would be offered automatic employment as brand ambassadors for the Foundation with a regular monthly salary for the duration of their reign.
In addition, they will also be provided a chauffeur driven official car for the duration of their reign. There will be mouth-watering prices for the winner and the two runner-ups of the Okija Rising Talent Hunt, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Foundation, Dr Frank Odini said.
