The FUZE Festival which held on December 21, saw winners of the FUZE Talent Hunt emerge from music, dance, fashion, and technology categories and walked away with N5 million naira each.

The first runner-up and second runner-up from each category were also rewarded with N2 million naira and N1 million naira, respectively.

In addition to the cash prizes, they will receive industry recognition and access to mentorship opportunities to support their creative careers and enterprise.

The FUZE Talent Hunt is a platform curated for creative young Nigerians making strides in music, dance, fashion and technology.

Recall that MSME Africa had announced a call for applications on the 1st of December, 2022.

Over 4,000 entries were received digitally via the Stanbic IBTC Events App, 40 contestants were shortlisted for the quarterfinals, 24 contestants made it to the semifinals and 12 to the finals.

Details of the auditions, contests and finale will be revealed in a three-part episode of the FUZE Talent Hunt which would be aired in Q1 2023 on selected media channels across the country.

Nike Bajomo, Executive Director, Business Development, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, congratulated the winners and thanked all those who worked hard to make the event a remarkable success.

Guests also enjoyed fun games with lots of food and drinks, face and body painting for kids and adults with many other entertaining activities for individuals and their families to celebrate the yuletide.
