If you're heading to OID celebrations this week, Otineka Mall is introducing some fun new competitions with a chance to win cash prizes.

 

A youth jigging contest is taking place this afternoon.

 

Tomorrow, the mall will host two new cultural contests beginning at noon. Men can compete for the Best Beaded Medallion, while women can show off their creativity in the Biggest Auntie Earrings competition. Entries must be homemade and cannot use someone else's work. Registration opens at 11:30 a.m., with the first 10 contestants accepted in each age category.

 

Children’s games will be running in the afternoons from Tuesday to Thursday.

 

Wednesday elders games will take place, including bingo, dice and card games, and movin’ on up.

 

Then on Thursday, the popular Chug-A-Lug Contest and hot wing eating contests will take place at noon.

 

And Friday, a traditional leather outfit contest will wrap up the Otineka Mall celebrations.
