Due to the overwhelming response and participation of Nigerians in the Romarox Tourism Photo Competition, a decision has been reached by the organizers to extend the deadline for registration from October 2019 to February 2020.
The competition which aims at promoting sustainable tourism in the country by getting Nigerians to take good photos of tourists attractions all over the country, and uploading the photos at a fee on the official RTPC website to stand a chance of winning over ₦3,500,000 from seven categories, a brand new saloon car and other exciting prizes has received a widespread acceptance by Nigerians.
While speaking to newsmen in Lagos, the Managing Director of Romarox Resources Ltd., Mrs Rosemary Okeke, explained that the extension is based on the need to allow Nigerians in the diaspora to participate in the competition when they return for the New year celebrations.
The Managing Director, Mrs Rosemary Okeke, who is also the founder of Suburban Heritage Initiative and former Miss Nigeria 84/85, as well, informed the newsmen that the screening and voting phase of the competition is now scheduled for March, 2020 and the grand finale will be in April, 2020.
"Due to the continuous requests from Nigerians, we have decided to extend the deadline for registration of the Romarox Tourism Photo Competition. We have received numerous calls, mails and messages to extend the deadline from prospective participants who are both within and outside the country.
"Based on this and pressure from other quarters, we have resolved to allocate more time for the registration. By this, those who would return to the country for the new year celebrations will have the opportunity to register for the competition. We encourage Nigerians to make use of this opportunity. With more registrations, we would have more photos to promote the hidden endowments in the rural communities and beautiful tourist attractions in Nigeria to the world." she said.
Nigerians who are yet to register for the competition were urged to do so. She also encouraged those who have registered already, to send in more entries to increase their chances of winning and also, promoting tourism in Nigeria.
