MTN Ghana Foundation has announced that submission of entries for MTN Heroes of Change Season ‘6’ dubbed “Special 25th Anniversary Edition” has been extended to 25th April, 2022.

The extension, according to the company, is to enable the public to have ample time to scout and nominate their heroes. Members of the public who have not nominated their Heroes are encouraged to do so before the new deadline of 25th April, 2022.

“Nominees should be individuals or institutions who have made significant impact in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic in the country. The projects of the nominees should be in line with the focus areas of the MTN Ghana Foundation which are Health, Education and Economic Empowerment,” it said.

Commenting on the MTN Heroes of Change, the Executive Secretary of MTN Ghana Foundation, Mr. Robert Kuzoe said, the “Special 25th Anniversary Edition” had been dedicated to reward COVID heroes.

“We want to honour the efforts of individuals and institutions who reached out to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in Ghana. We want to showcase their work and celebrate them for their selfless contributions during the most difficult times of our lives.

“We are urging the public to nominate those extraordinary people who took the initiative to support their communities during the pandemic,” he said.

The company said a three-member panel had been selected to oversee the MTN Heroes of Change project, adding that all projects received would be reviewed and shortlisted by the panel after the close of nominations.

“Shortlisted projects will be pruned to 10 and the stories of these 10 will be filmed and featured in a 13-week television show. A total of GH¢200,000 has been set aside to reward the final 10 heroes,” it added.
