The Contest

Since December 2015, Few Model Management has scouted models across a range of African countries – including Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda – to find unique faces. Few Next Face have garnered international acclaim and a partnership with IMG Models Worldwide. In order to tackle the prevalent lack of African models in the global industry, Few Model Management and IMG Models Worldwide joined forces to start a project now known as ‘Few’s Next Face Africa’.

Few’s Next Face is a model scouting competition which aims to identify and provide a platform for aspiring young models through which their talents can be nurtured and honed to the global standards. With a continent full of beautiful African women, diversification and redefining the concept of ‘Africa. Beauty’ is also a major point of focus. The maiden edition of Few’s Next Face Africa was a two-day event held at Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
