Entries
for the ‘My Big Nigerian Wedding’ contest have started pouring in in
droves, now it’s time to begin the journey to choosing the ultimate
winner. Voting according to WED Magazine, organizers of the maiden
edition of the contest starts today October 2nd 2013 and ends on
December 2nd 2013. Couples who have registered for the contest
stand the chance of having their dream wedding sponsored to the tune of
N15Million and win an exotic honeymoon if they garner enough votes to
get them to the final stage of the competition and clinch the overall
prize.
To vote for any couple of your choice, please visit www.mbnwedding.com and
register with your email and mobile phone number. Your log in details
can be used anytime you visit the MBNWedding site. You cannot register
twice with the same email address and mobile phone number.
The
site permits you to vote only once for a couple within the space of 24
hours. To vote again for the same couple, you have to visit in the next
24 hours. However, you can vote for other couples of your choice within
the same period.
To arrive at the first shortlist of 50
couples, 40 couples would be chosen through voting while 10 would be
chosen by a select panel of judges who would pick the couples based on
their stories and other criteria. These 40 couples would be a
compilation of the top 25 votes from the website, 5 from Facebook, 5
from Twitter and 5 from Instagram.
Akin Eso, publisher of WED
Magazine notes that the voting process is an open and transparent one
which gives all couples a fair chance of being shortlisted. “We have put
in place the best technology and processes to ensure the voting process
is as transparent as possible.
He continued, “We want every
couple to get a fair chance of winning the competition. It is now left
to the contestants to get their friends and family to vote for them.”
Speaking
on the idea behind the contest, he said that beyond planning a
spectacular wedding for the winning couple, WED Magazine has some
important values which they stand for.
“Our dream at WED Magazine
has always been to help about-to-wed couples ease the stress of planning
their wedding achieve their dreams. The ‘My Big Nigerian Wedding’
contest gives us a better platform to realize that. We believe in the
values of love, family, togetherness and sustainable marriages and
through this contest, are pushing forward that message.”
Voting

encouraged to join MBNWedding on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. SMS
