part of the global cast for Elite Look. The winners in the male and female

Commenting on
Aquafina’s sponsorship of the Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria, Head of
Marketing, Seven-Up Bottling Company Plc, Mr. Norden Thurston said: “Aquafina
table water as one of the biggest water brands in the world is delighted to
partner with Elite Model Look to give young Nigerians a platform to aspire to
the zenith of international modelling and fashion. We believe that
beauty comes from within and is a function of clean and pure habits, especially
eating good food and drinking clean water; this creates a synergy for Aquafina
with ‘Elite Model Look Nigeria’ as the participants portray the benefits of
drinking ‘purity guaranteed Aquafina Premium water.”
Mr. Thurston
said both Pepsi Co and Seven-Up Bottling Company believe in the talent and ability
that resides in the Nigerian youth and have consistently provided opportunities
for them to express themselves, be it in music, football or education through a
number of consumer empowerment schemes.
Some of the per-qualified contestants expressed delight with Aquafina for giving them this
once in a lifetime opportunity to live their dreams of becoming international
models. Neoma Anosike, the 18 – year old school leaver won the 2013 edition and
had an impressive showing in the global contest in China where she represented
Nigeria. Other super models such as Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen, Chika
Emmanuella all emerged from this platform.
First runner up

Aquafina for sponsoring Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria, as such
youth-oriented platforms paved the way for his discovery.
This year’s

event.
