Kinabuti and Pulse.ng's innovative talent-hunt project returns

It’s back! Bigger, better and bolder, the innovative talent-hunt project, Dare2Dream (D2D)co-produced by Kinabuti Fashion Initiative and Pulse.ng, is set to host its second edition in November.

In 2014, the first edition created a major buzz in the Nigerian Fashion Industry. Powered by FCMB, this second edition will look for - not only aspiring female models - but also singers, dancers, designers, and presenters from the enormous pool of creative talents that exists in Universities.

This year, the production team along side its supporting partners will visit three Nigerian Universities in the West, North and Southern region searching for the brightest and most talented ones.

Selective trainings will hold in 3 cities:

On November 26, each city’s selected participants will be flown by Dana Air to Lagos for the relentless bootcamp. For 10 days, the participants will be trained and progressively eliminated based on their practical and soft skills performances.

On December 6 at the Federal Palace Hotel Lagos, the grand finale will give the four finalists a chance to perform in front of distinguished jury members, the media and a truly stunning crowd.

The winner of Dare2Dream will receive a cash prize and a chance to work on real world projects in the modeling & entertainment industry.

The series of reality-episodes will document the 1-month journey and experience of the participants, their dreams, their fears and the way they overcome them. The series will be aired on both TV and Web to inspire the new generation and show the world a different image of Nigeria.

FCMB renews as official bank partner as well as Nescafé official coffee partner and Dana Air official airline partner.

Indomie and Domino are new comers to give hundreds of undiscovered talents from different parts of the country a solid platform and a reason to actualize their dreams.

The team will also search complementary skills to generate synergies in a Fashion Project team: stylists, event organizers, Fashion bloggers, cinematographers, make-up artists, hair stylists who will follow the production team and get real world experience.

Dare2Dream will be followed by a curated selection of media partners:
