The event attracted notable Nollywood personalities, including CAZ Chidiebere and Clemson-Cornell Nnonyelu, among others, who witnessed the participants demonstrate their talents and potential for careers in the entertainment industry.
Speaking at the event, the Anambra State Commissioner for Culture, Entertainment and Tourism, Chief Udoji Amedu, commended ANAWOOD for partnering with the state government to discover, develop and nurture emerging talents.
He said the initiative would provide young people with opportunities to realise their ambitions in the creative industry, adding that youth development remains a priority of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.
The immediate past Commissioner for Culture, Entertainment and Tourism and Co-founder of ANAWOOD, Mr Don Onyenji, said the organisation was committed to identifying and nurturing promising talents who could use their creative abilities to make meaningful contributions to society.
Onyenji noted that initiatives such as the talent hunt show would help create opportunities for young people to develop their skills and establish themselves in the entertainment industry.
In her remarks, the President of ANAWOOD, Lady Chinyere Ozo, described the maiden edition of the talent hunt as successful, explaining that it had enabled the organisation to identify promising performers for its upcoming productions.
She encouraged the participants to remain dedicated to improving their craft, embrace continuous learning and use their talents to make positive contributions to society.
Also speaking, Awka-born veteran actor, Mr Clemson-Cornell Nnonyelu, observed that Anambra State and the South-East region were blessed with abundant but largely untapped entertainment talents.
He said proper identification, development and promotion of these talents could position the region as a major hub for entertainment and tourism.
The maiden talent hunt show underscores ANAWOOD’s commitment to strengthening the creative industry in Anambra State by providing emerging performers with a platform to showcase their abilities and access opportunities in film, music, dance and other areas of entertainment.
