The FUZE Entertainment Talent Show “The Fuze” is an entertainment talent show that is open to musicians, dancers and people with generally unique talents who want an opportunity to showcase their talents and use this platform as a springboard to project their work to a larger audience. This segment (which includes music, dance, fashion, tech and innovation categories) will happen on our main stage during the festival and selected winners will gain sponsorship and seed funding for their various talents and business ideas.
The FUZE Marketplace will be designed to give a contemporary African marketplace vibe with a mix of stalls and installations adorned richly with African motifs. It will serve as both the space where Stanbic IBTC showcases its offerings and onboards new customers as well as an avenue for designers, artisans and vendors to display and sell their products. Key featured elements include art and culture, fashion, gaming or tech, food, books, and merchandise.
The FUZE festival will take place on Saturday, 23 December 2023 at Livespot Entertainment Centre, 4, Oba Elegushi Close, Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria.
