The three renown professionals such as ace movie actress and producer, – Mercy Aigbe-Gentry, creative photographer, -Yetunde Babaeko and a bespoke tailor and fashion designer, -Mai Atafo have been unveiled once again to continue as jury of the Cussons Baby Moments Season 3. The three celebrities have been the jurors of the events since Season 2 in 2014.
The brand has taken yet another step towards rewarding babies and their parents, having previously rewarded Daniel Uwadia in 2014 and Morireoluwa Modesire Davids in 2015. It would be recalled that Cussons Baby recently hosted ‘Toddler Grow and Shine’ competition for toddlers to exhibit their talents.
The inaugural Cussons Baby Toddler Grow and Shine produced Imisioluwa Oladapo as the grand prize winner, and she took home N1million education grant.
While introducing the panel of judges to the media in Lagos to kick start the season 3 of the competition, the Group Brand Development and Activation Manager Faith Okoli, said that the Cussons Baby Moments initiative is a platform meant for parents to share the captivating and amazing moments of their babies in pictures and videos.
Mrs. Okoli said “We are proud to have the season 3 of Cussons Baby Moments because this is yet another occasion to celebrate our bundles of joy”
Speaking on the platform as a means of showcasing captivating and amazing baby moments, Mrs. Okoli said parents upload pictures of their babies on the Cussons Baby Facebook page and these uploads are voted for. Selections are based on the highest number of likes. The judges subsequently review the selected images based on some key parameters. Basically, the selection is 2-tier: Family and friends of the babies and the Cussons Baby judges’
While explaining the rationale behind the choice of panelists, Mrs. Okoli said ‘every baby is amazing and it is very difficult to select a winner among winners. Hence, our choice of 3 professionals that are not only parents and well respected members of the society, but are also renown in their chosen careers. Our judges have been with us from the inception of the Cussons Baby Moments in 2014. They can easily identify with those unique budding attributes and captivating moments we desire to celebrate in our babies’’
Responding to questions, Atafo said “As one of the judges and a family man, I am excited because this is meant to celebrate and appreciate family values and efforts at raising children and to create a platform for them to shine.”
“The event has been expanding year on year, it is obvious that this years’ Cussons Baby Moments is going to be bigger because we have over 500 entries already. We are seeing some drastic and dramatic changes and we will be judging based on some parameters because we are not going to be bias,” the celebrated fashion designer assured parents.
