The 2017 Elite Model Look Nigeria was all about the celebration of the brand which took the modeling industry in Nigeria by storm 10 years ago as well as the crowning of the eventual winners of the Model Look competition, Tobi Momoh and Stephen Aladenika.

Both winners in the male and female categories walked away with a cash prize one million naira each and the chance to represent Nigeria at the Elite Model Look International World finals where they stand a chance to win $150,000 alongside a modelling contract with Elite Model Management Worldwide and a two-year modelling contract with Beth Model Management Africa.

With Aquafina as their lead sponsors for a few years now, the Model Look competition offers an opportunity for Nigerian models to compete on the runway of the most prestigious international modelling contest which has produced top models like Mayowa Nicholas, Victor Ndigwe and Davidson Obennebo, the 2016 Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria winner and the first African to win the Elite Model Look World Competition in 33 years. The 2017 event of the model look competition attracted over 1000 aspiring models and fashion enthusiasts from all corners of the country. After a rigorous audition process and intensive boot camp, both Tobi Momoh and Stephen Aladenika emerged winners from the 24 models who made it to the finale.

The Elite Model Look Nigeria has consistently discovered the hottest stars in the modelling industry and had helped launch the careers of young models at the most prestigious modelling agency in the world. The competition which began 10 years ago is managed in Nigeria by business woman, Elohor Aisen who successfully bought the franchise for the world wide competition a few years ago and has succeeded in using that  platform to groom local talents into becoming world wide sensations.
