Rashida Braimah, Face of Road Safety Africa 2018
The search for the most beautiful lady to be crowned the Face of Road Safety Africa (FORSA) 2019 will be begin with an audition on Saturday, June 29 at the Ange Hill Hotel, East Legon, Accra.
Ten beautiful ladies will be selected from the audition process to compete in the pageant, with DAILY GUIDE NETWORK (DGN) as a media partner.
FORSA is an organisation endorsed by the National Road Safety Commission (NRSC), which focuses on educating the public on the need for road safety.
One of the approaches to drawing attention to the carnage on our roads is through a pageant, which is research-focused beauty pageant with 10 beautiful and talented ladies selected from the various regions, tasked with the responsibility of sharing knowledge acquired through their research works into road carnage in Ghana and the way forward.
The research and findings will be presented to some distinguished judges for marks to enable them to move through to the next stages of the competition.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals’ (SDGs) road safety targets and the United Nations’ decade of action for road safety, FORSA aims at changing the status-quo in Ghana on road safety through entertainment on the beauty in saving lives.
It has been observed by many that entertainment is a very effective means of getting information through to the general public and FORSA is taking advantage of this opportunity to save lives.
The project is being rolled out on a piece meal basis. The first phase will involve auditions. With the second phase, each contestant will be given a project and this will be done along with the launch of the programme.
The competition will last for a period of 12 weeks of road safety research, documentaries and report writing and the audience will participate through votes by text messages to agreed communication networks.
The contestants will be camped for the entire duration of the project and the winner will then embark on her yearly project and also liaise with National Road Safety Commission, Red Cross Ghana, DVLA, MTTU, Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and other corporate bodies to complete her mission for the year. The winners will embark on their project with a car, cash and items from sponsors.
Audition forms can currently be picked from all Fotosore outlets or at the audition ground at Ange Hill Hotel.
