The Grand Finale event will be taking place on Sunday, 30th January 2022 at Eko Hotel & Suites, where models will be competing for a chance to win a 2-year modelling contract with a top international modelling agency, as well as a $5,000 USD cash prize.<\/p>\n

Commending the FFA project, Head Marketing and Corporate Communication, Ecobank Nigeria, Babajide Sipe said Ecobank has increasingly shown that it means well in its intent to promote Africa\u2019s finest in lifestyle vis-a-viz giving talented young people the opportunity for global stardom and to become African Fashion Icons.<\/p>\n

\u201cFuture Face Africa aligns with Ecobank\u2019s commitment to providing a veritable platform for actualizing the dreams of many young talents who will participate in the competition by gracing the international stage and ultimately interested in the fashion and beauty industry\u201d.<\/p>

Future Face Africa, no doubt Africa\u2019s largest model search competition is headed by Elizabeth Isiorho, a pioneer in the African modelling industry and the founder of Beth Model Management Africa, Africa\u2019s largest modelling agency, and the organisation behind Future Face Africa. Over the past 17 years, Beth Model Management has served as an industry pacesetter, helping to launch the careers of dozens of internationally placed models, and has cultivated some of the best talents in the industry, such as Mayowa Nicholas and Davidson Obennebo.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Isiorho previously organised Elite Model Look Nigeria, but after a 2-year hiatus, re-emerged with Future Face Africa to expand her model search beyond the borders of Nigeria alone, and offer a wider range of hopefuls a chance at success.<\/p>\n

FFA will be giving opportunities to people from various countries, backgrounds and skin tones, aiming to go beyond the buzzwords of “diversity” and “inclusivity” to create an initiative that truly celebrates the range of beauty that the industry has to offer.<\/p>\n

FFA will be equipping selected models with the knowledge and skills to achieve international success and to have long-lasting careers in a very competitive industry. For these models, Future Face Africa will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could change their lives forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
