His entry was selected as the best among over 300 submissions reviewed by a panel of judges assembled by the project consultants, Dunamis Icon. The design has since been officially adopted for the festival.
“I counted myself lucky to have had my entry selected from the over 300 submitted by other contestants and would like to thank the organisers of the Niger Delta Sports Festival for the opportunity given to all of us, the contestants, to be part of this project,” Elo Akose told NDSF Media.
Akose, who works with Smax Digital Prints, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education (Economics) from Delta State University.
