Weekly winners walked away with Bose speakers, Beats by Dre headphones and Shopping vouchers. Weekly Winners included Joshua Agyabeng, Sylvester Nii Ayi Tetteh, James Otoo, Wisdom Owolabi Olalekan Delali and Erica Mawuena Gbeddy. A duo Charles Quophy and Grace Monanyun, and Kofi Webbie were shortlisted as finalists for the grand finale.

 

Incredible Zigi commended the participants for their outstanding performance in the dance challenge and stated that this challenge has further proven how strong the Ghana dance fraternity is growing and such platforms should be encouraged to unearth more talents. He also thanked Guinness for celebrating dance in Ghana.

 

The ‘Black Shines Brightest’ campaign remains an iconic Pan African campaign celebrating the iconic black liquid enjoyed all over the continent for over a century. The campaign is inspired by the bold and unique black beer of Guinness stout and brings together passionate and creative individuals to celebrate the spirit of Guinness and its home across African markets.
