This year’s edition of the Gulder Ultimate Search will be held at the Aguleri forest in Anambra State between September 19 and October 16.
At a press conference, Tuesday, the Nigerian Breweries, the organizers, said that the winner of the 11th season of the reality TV show, known as the ‘Ultimate Man’ will be rewarded with a cash prize of N10 million and a brand new Ford Explorer Sports Utility Vehicle.
“For 28 days, we will be entertained to an original Nigerian adventure programme with international class standards. The daily highlights will be on national terrestrial and satellite TV stations,” said Kufre Ekanem, Corporate Affairs Adviser, Nigerian Breweries Plc.
“As always, entry into the Search is free and the selection process will be rigorous with a national spread.
“The application form is available on www.gulderultimatesearch.tv from today till 31st of July, 2014. This internet-based application process will lead to thousands of people being screened in four locations across Nigeria.
“The four locations for the physical regional screening will be in Lagos, Benin, Port Harcourt, and Awka. There will be a final screening exercise in Lagos to produce the final set of young-adult, strong, intelligent, able-bodied men and women who are determined to go the extra mile to achieve success,” Mr. Ekanem added.
The Gulder Ultimate Search Season 11, tagged ‘The Mission,’ will see 14 contestants going deep into the Aguleri forest to retrieve the ‘cube.’
