Exquisite Magazine and Baileys’ ELOY Awards will hold on November 30th 2014 at the Intercontinental Hotel Lagos, Nigeria, with the full list of nominees just revealed and voting now officially open.
The 6th edition of the awards, which celebrates the most ‘Exquisite Ladies of the Year,’ includes stunning actresses Osas Ighodaro and RIta Dominic, Nigeria’s beloved DJ Cuppy and designers Maki Osakwe, Sally Bawa and Ejiro Amos Taferi, as well as our own presenter, Tolu Doherty, with Tewa Onasanya of Exquisite Mag saying;
“The criteria for the ELOY Awards focuses on the character of the individual, her ability and achievements and how her work impacts the Nigerian society, through direct and indirect leadership, service, commitment, achievement, integrity and character, and we look forward to celebrating all nominees and winners.”
With so many women having caught our attention already this year, we’re stuck on who’ll be getting out vote (though it’s likely to be biased, leaning towards SPICE’s 360 star, Tolu), but to cast yours, simply text “ELOY” followed by “(nominee’s name)” to 35070 or email “(nominee’s name)” to eloy@exquisitemag.com. You can also vote online at www.exquisitemag.com.
