Organisers of 1v1 Africa have confirmed the first seven finalists who will compete in the highly anticipated grand finale of the continental competition, where a 10 million naira prize awaits the ultimate winner. The announcement, made during a live broadcast, has intensified excitement among fans and followers across Nigeria and other African countries tracking the competition.
According to the organisers, the finalists emerged after weeks of intense elimination rounds that tested creativity, resilience, technical ability, and audience engagement. The competition, which has grown rapidly in popularity, is designed as a head to head challenge platform where contestants compete directly against one another in various categories.
Speaking during the unveiling, the project director described the finalists as individuals who have demonstrated exceptional talent and discipline throughout the contest. He noted that beyond entertainment, the initiative aims to create a sustainable empowerment pathway for young Africans seeking visibility and economic opportunity.
The grand finale is expected to feature live performances, audience voting, and a panel of judges drawn from creative and entrepreneurial industries. Organisers confirmed that the judging criteria will focus on originality, consistency, audience appeal, and overall impact.
Industry observers say the prize money represents more than financial reward. For many contestants, the platform provides national exposure and potential brand partnerships that could redefine their careers. Analysts believe such youth driven initiatives are gradually reshaping the talent development ecosystem in Nigeria.
Security and logistics arrangements are already underway to ensure a smooth finale. The organisers confirmed that ticketing details and broadcast schedules will be released in the coming days.
With anticipation building, fans have taken to social media to campaign for their preferred finalists. As the countdown begins, attention now shifts to the final showdown that promises not only entertainment but a life changing reward for the eventual winner.
