Dare2Dream Season 6 call for entry re-opens with online selections

However, we are also resolved that 2020 is a year for Season 6 of Dare2Dream. While the lockdowns are easing, we see the wisdom of banning large social gatherings and as a result, we have brainstormed what to do in the face of this challenge.

Being a youth led platform, we have the competitive advantage of leading innovative disruptive ideas and creative approaches to execution, hence we have decided as opposed to the campus tour to have Dare2Dream Season 6 auditions & selections as an online special.

Thus, we are excited to announce that Dare2Dream Season 6 is online! This means:

✔Remember that the contest is open for all youth aged 18-35 who are talented in modelling, fashion design or the performing arts. You can access all the terms and conditions for the contest here. ( https://forms.gle/xWK8taKhypAyj9yZA )

This year, the contest will hold in three phases and here are easy steps to getting through them.

✔ PHASE 1: CALL FOR ENTRY

Participants who complete online registration and social media posts will already be admitted to the 2nd phase of the competition; online selection.

✔ PHASE 2: ONLINE SELECTION

● Selections would take place once a week over the course of 2 weeks. Participants would be judged based on talent, creativity and delivery; relatability and audience engagement, popularity and the quality of content created.

● Fifteen participants will qualify every week for the next phase.

● Online selections will take place on Instagram Live video call; participants will be contacted beforehand with a precise date and time of audition to enable them to prepare - failure to meet the allocated time slot will eliminate the contestant.

● To enable the audience to save their favourite contestant and move them to the next round, there would be one wildcard slot every week.

● All participants are strongly encouraged to join and participate in all the live weekly masterclasses on Instagram during the course of the online selection.

✔ PHASE 3: INCUBATION -

● 30 contestants will make it through to the incubation period for further training where they will need to complete social media and learning tasks, as well as learn the choreography and theme song.

● Eliminations and Wildcard Slot will be just like in the second phase.

● 3 winners, one for each category, will emerge and be invited to Lagos for the bootcamp

WHAT THE WINNERS GET

● The three winners will receive:● Seed capital of N250,000 each to start their own business. This will be paid uniquely

to the bank account of the startup (business account) and it has to be uniquely

invested in the growth of their brands/startups.

● 3 days bootcamp in Lagos where they will meet industry leaders and showcase their

talent on Pop Central TV

● Trip to Paris to perform at the African Identity Show in Paris in April.

So is this your chance? We hope it is. It has never been easier to join a contest and get the visibility you have desired. Go on and register and you may be one of the few who would call 2020 your best year ever.
