Beyond the competition, the FOMI Photo Challenge provides a platform for contestants to expand their reach, build self-confidence and engage wider audiences in an increasingly competitive digital environment.
The initiative is powered by the Girls Go-To-Sea Campaign Initiative, a non-governmental, non-profit organisation committed to gender advocacy and women’s empowerment in Nigeria’s maritime sector.
By combining a beauty competition with maritime advocacy, FOMI seeks to draw attention to women’s visibility and inclusion in an industry critical to shipping, port operations and international trade.
The competition also provides an opportunity to encourage young women to take a greater interest in the maritime sector and its diverse career opportunities.
Although Bassey currently leads the Photo Challenge with 4,349 points, the final winner of Season 11 is yet to emerge, as contestants must complete the remaining stages of the competition before the Grand Finale.
