Season 5: A tale of cities, campuses, talent and emerging winners

Five campuses. From beautiful Jos dreaming of peace to energetic Uniport. And then it was unforgettable Uniben and on to enthusiastic Unilag. We arrived Unical and found a vibrant campus. Every campus had a different energy, but it was all great energy.

It was five campuses and thousands of youths competing and learning, dreaming and working to see those dreams come true. It was five times of free learning from Google who taught digital skills to FCMB who educated on youth entrepreneurship.

The tours were times for talent nurturing by some of Nigeria’s largest companies. Imperial Leather and Canoe taught and sponsored upcoming designers and shall continue in Bootcamp. Most of the designers learned about Moodboard Creation for the first time ever.

From the hundreds of contestants, there were 30 who stood out representing skill and passion. They learned that winning on campus is just the beginning. As they dived into their assignments, they have shown incredible mettle completing assignments on Google Digital Skills, Social Media Management and CV preparation.

Out of the twenty performing artists and models, 13 are making it to boot-camp. Their grit and commitment in this bridge phase has paid off and now they go forward to realize their dreams. Who are those 13? Watch this space tomorrow and find out who made it.

On the 21st of August, all 10 Fashion Design winners will be joining the Masters of Style INCUBATOR by Imperial Leather and Canoe led by Celebrity Designer Mai Atafo, they will work with the Dreamers in the creation of the masterpiece and 5 will be selected to move to the Boot-camp. The Masters of Style Incubator provides the opportunity for direct engagement with the real Masters; top Nigerian fashion designers will be training and mentoring the contestants at the Fashion Incubator as they prepare for the final stages of the competition.

On the 26th of August, the 18 dreamers will start boot-camp of with the “Meet the Dreamers” Launch Party where they shall meet influencers, socialites and celebrities. The glam event will happen at the African Artist Foundation where they will get a chance to install the Dreamers Lab.

We are especially grateful to AAF who have given us this special Mentorship Program with the objective of creating interactive experiences to meet the dreamers through the art elements of their cultural heritage and traditions.

The adventure is far from over. Watch this space as we announce the 2018 Dreamers.
