The Challenge Season 3 Launches on August 30

All is set for the launch of the third season of ‘The Challenge’ reality TV show and Ghana will find out which of the twenty five semifinalists will be part of the twelve finalists on Tuesday August 30. The event is scheduled for the British Council auditorium and is expected to have in attendance people from diverse walks of life aside previous winners, contestants, educationalists, representatives from corporate Ghana and other specially invited dignitaries.

The twelve finalists will be unveiled for the commencement of the game show on television. The past two weeks have seen a series of grim auditions as revealed by most of the applicants who were involved in the process. It started at the Ring Road branch of IPMC on Saturday August 13 with several hundreds of university graduates showing up for the aptitude test.

The second phase continued at the British Council with the successful applicants from the IPMC auditions. The candidates went through one-on-one interviews before being split into groups to appear before a three member panel.

The Challenge Season Three has at stake full board postgraduate scholarships worth £70,000 with the two top winners guaranteed postgraduate admission at the Robert Gordon University and University of Westminster accompanied by a fully paid accommodation and a monthly living allowance.

The top winners will return to Ghana upon completion of their postgraduate courses better equipped for the job market. They are certain of occupying enviable positions within Corporate Ghana with flying careers just as the previous winner.

The Challenge season three is brought to you by The British Council and TIGO in association with the Robert Gordon University and University of Westminster. It is proudly supported by SIC, IPMC, Pro Credit, 3E Quantum, Gsocialize.com, GTV and powered by GH One Entertainment TV.
