Kwaw Kese
Some of the crème de la crème of Ghana’s music scene will be performing at the 2017 edition of Exopa New Face Contest, scheduled to place on Friday, March 31, 2017 at Exopa Burg, behind the Accra International Trade Fair.
Among them are ‘Solo’ hit maker, Article Wan and ‘Abodam’ crooner Kwaw Kese and a host of others.
The Exopa New Faces contest is a runway event aimed at grooming young models to explore their modelling talent. The event used to be held monthly until organisers halted it.
Organisers promised the event was returning bigger and better with a lot excitement.
The event partially celebrates Ghana’s fashion industry and also promotes African fabrics while giving beautiful African ladies and guys the necessary training and opportunity to build a career in the modelling industry.
Auditions for the contest took place on February 25, 2017 at the Exopa Burg. That ceremony saw many young beautiful ladies and guys took turns to get auditioned.
Those who got selected have since been going through training to prepare for the Friday contest.
There will be more attractive summer wear made of contemporary African fabrics by creative young designers, music from energetic young and talented artistes, and the skills of the lucky and gorgeous models that were selected by Exopa.
The event will also be used to officially launch the Exopa Academy.
Speaking in an interview with Abu Ibrahim, CEO of the Exopa Modelling Agency and Exopa Academy, he mentioned that the Exopa Modelling Agency has over the years trained thousands of models, but beginning in June this year, the training will become more formal, thus, introducing the academy which will start with two departments.
That, he indicated, included modelling and screen acting to train ‘wannabe’ actors.
The event is being organised by Exopa Modelling Agency, in collaboration with Exopa Academy, GPHILMS, Joyce Ababio College of Design, and supported by News-One, UTV, ZTV, Okay FM and Peace FM.
