Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Are Seeking Submissions for FUZE Talent Show 2.0 – The stage is now set for the second edition of the FUZE Talent Show, an initiative of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers designed to give adolescents a platform to demonstrate their talent in music, dance, fashion, technology, and innovation.
In the inaugural season of the FUZE Festival in 2022, over 7,000 submissions were received, with over 2 million views. The victors were announced at the FUZE Festival’s electrifying grand finale and concert.
Building on the success of the first iteration, Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, has invited prospective participants aged 18 to 35 to apply for the second edition.
Participants need only obtain the Stanbic IBTC Events App from the Android or iOS store, complete the registration form, and submit a one-minute video showcasing their talent to participate in the digitally-led audition process. Notably, there is no cost associated with the audition procedure.
Winners would be announced at the FUZE Festival on December 23, 2023, with a N32 million grand prize up for grabs.
Mr. Olumide Oyetan, the chief executive officer of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, stated that FUZE embodies the vibrant Nigerian culture in various artistic forms, thereby stimulating and enhancing the nation’s creative landscape.
Ms. Nike Bajomo, executive director of Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, emphasised the costlessness of the audition procedure.
According to her, the event will provide Nigeria’s talented adolescents with a platform to learn, network, and gain access to vital resources that will fuel their aspirations.
“Through this platform, we hope to inspire, uplift, and propel the next generation to achieve their dreams,” she noted.
