This year, 11 finalists will share one million naira worth of prizes.
“After close consultation with our partners, sponsors and some host communities around the country, we have made the difficult decision to merge the remaining audition and final selection process with final event. Having spent the past few months on audition across the zones.”
“We want to thank all our contestants, audiences, partners sponsors and foodie community for their support, open discussions and encouragement. As everyone has been reminding us, great things happen when the foodie community comes together and connects at foodie event. For this reason, we fully intend to host a three-day event in October. We will be with our partners to finalize the details and will share more information about our plans in the coming weeks.
“There are 50 contestants who will participate in the 3 days event and are expected to use their acumen for cooking along with a sense of creativity to prepare the dishes.
“The prime objective of the competition is to offer professional platform to students where they can display their individual and combined skills, creative talents and get opportunity to learn, and share experience in competitive environment.
“The first day of the event is arrival of contestants from different part of the country that have not participated in any audition, and on the second day the organizer will welcome the finalist to camp ahead of Sunday finale.” A statement from the iHOUSE stated.
