Winner of the maiden edition of Ghana’s Most Photogenic, Yannel has opened up about her secret to clinching the covetous winning prize.
Speaking with Naa Ashorkor on TV3’s New Day, Tuesday, Yannel implied that she had to be more creative in order to win the contest when she was questioned about what extra thing made her stand out.
“What I kept asking myself was what spice would I add to the stew to taste different,” she told Naa Ashorkor while being affirmative to the Host’s suggestion of her creativity prowess.
She further acknowledged the assistance from the organisers and production team throughout the contest.
The first-ever model to win the contest received a cash prize of GH₵10,000, a trip abroad, a spa treatment from JM Salon and Spa, a feature in a magazine and a brand ambassadorial deal with Media General as well as make-up products.
The other four finalists; Aku Yayra, Yenu, Saraphina Fafali and Blaq Angela walk away with GH₵3000 each, make up products, a local trip to be sponsored by Adansi travels and products from Pepsodent.
The contest which begun with 12 contestants had only five finalists battling it out at the Grand finale which was held on Saturday, January 20 at the World Trade Centre, Accra.
Launched in November last year, TV3’s Ghana’s Most Photogenic programme was designed to discover young and aspiring female models with exceptional talents.
After an extensive audition at the premises of Media General, only 12 models out of the many young models were selected to compete in the pageant.
All 12 contestants were subsequently provided with photogenic tasks such as the Commercial, Bridal, Bathtub, Christmas and ‘Hawk the Walk’ shoots leaving only five finalists.
