The much-anticipated Grand Finale was the culmination of a series of activities and events that have seen the emergence of talents in the areas of Modelling, Performing Arts, and Fashion Design from across the country. All the contestants in this year’s edition were pooled from 5 universities, namely: University of Jos, University of Port Harcourt, University of Benin, University of Lagos, and University of Calabar. Each University had two finalists who made it into the Dare 2 Dream Bootcamp where the contestant were groomed and put through series of tests before the finale, where the eventual winners would be selected.
After a night of impressive talent showcase, the winners emerged – Emmanuella Alile, representing the University of Lagos, emerged as the winner of the Performing Arts category, while Olamide Olawaiye, representing the University of Benin, emerged as the winner of the Modelling category. The highlight of the night was that of the Fashion Design category which was keenly contested.
