Infinix today officially launched an online contest tagged #TheHottestOne aimed at identifying and rewarding talented young Nigerians. This follows the success of previous similar online contests organized by the company, notably #TheNextHero and #Zero2Hero campaigns, both of which actively engaged the Nigerian youth demographic to suggest desired phone features and share their inspiring stories respectively.
During #TheHottestOne campaign, Nigerians can show their talent as Infinix embarks on the search for The Hottest One. Nigerians who have one talent or the other can participate in the contest by uploading short videos or pictures of themselves displaying their talent using the official hashtag #TheHottestOne on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
