PHOTOS: See Mr. Universe Nigeria Contestants 2013
Last Year, Mr. Universe Nigeria travelled across 8 States to audition hundreds of hopefuls who would emerge as the top
finalists in representing the 26 States for the grand finale of Mr. Universe Nigeria. This year, we have decided to increase the
audition centers/regions to 20. This is to provide a much larger promotional platform for our sponsors/partners to even reach
out further better than their competitors and also for us, bring closer the event to lots of young Nigerians and hopefuls.
The national final casting/audition would hold in the center of excellence, Lagos.
All auditions are designed as open casting, hence, contestants would have the opportunity to invite friends and loved ones
to come watch the audition; this has been strategically done to open up the event for premium branding and brand
activation.
This is the official unveiling of the event as well as the 30 Finalists to the media. It has also been designed as a forum to
announce all our premium sponsors and support brand to the media and the public. It would be a formal presentation for
all supporting brands and sponsors to meet the media and also, re-enforce their aims as well as corporate social
responsibilities.
The media will after the press conference be treated to an exclusive fashion party. Even though strictly by invitation for the
media, top stars and celebrities, the general public will get an opportunity to be part of this event via specially designed
quizzes and polls on selected radio/TV stations.
MR UNIVERSE NIGERIA REALITY CAMP – The Mr. Universe Nigeria 5 days camp has been designed as a premium reality TV
show. The 26 contestants would be camped in a choice hotel for five(5) nights; during this period, they would engage in
major tasks and activities designed to add brand value to all sponsors and supporting brands. Support/sponsoring brands
have the opportunity to include their TV commercials in the daily broadcasting of camp activities on Partnering Stations:
Nigezie, Superscreen and ON-TV.
During the camping period, contestants would also tour various media channels on courtesy visits to articulate the event
thereby serve as a major platform for brand mileage as contestants would be wearing the branded shirts of the sponsors
and also mention them on air.
Support/sponsoring brands can also take advantage of the camp activities by buying camp schedule (selected days) to have
a specially designed programmes aimed at brand boost.
