On March 14, Miss Hotlegs Nigeria, a specialised beauty pageant, will take place at the Freedom Park in Lagos.
The event, which promises to be the best of beauty pageantry in recent times will be the grand finale of a series of auditions that started December last year.
According to the project coordinator, United Kingdom-born Mosy Oginni, the event tagged ‘Miss Hotlegs Nigeria Coronation Ball and Crowning Ceremony’ is going to make a revolutionary statement in the way beauty pageants would henceforth be organised in the country.
“The pageant was borne out of the need to crown a beauty ambassador who will influence the youths with her virtuous steps, stunning appearance and brain! The pageant is open to all Nigerian girls between the ages of 18 and 28 and who are at least 5.7 feet tall.”
On how the winner will emerge, Oginni said: “It’s been quite a journey, going all around Nigeria to eventually pick the finalist for the March 14 event. We held three important auditions to accommodate all applications from the three zones in Nigeria. The first took place in Lagos on December 18, the second in Port Harcourt on December 21, while the last took place in Abuja on January 25, 2015.”
The crowning of the winner will also witness the presentation of an enviable prize, which includes a brand new car, worth N1.2 million, with an annual pay for pet projects/brand ambassador worth N500,000. The winner will also have a chance to represent Nigeria at the Miss Hotlegs Africa Pageant, get a customised sash and crown and a portfolio with Fame photography.
The other categories of winners will not go unrewarded. The first runner-up will get a cash prize of N350,000 and the second gets N200,000 along with sash and crown, a year’s gym membership, various consolation prizes and a portfolio with Fame photography.
