Jason is Mr Model Africa 2017

A 25-year old graduate of the University of Ghana, Legon, Jason Akoto Asare, has won the 2017 edition of the Mr. Model Africa pageant held last weekend in Accra.

Kwaku Sakyi, a graduate of the Central University College came second while Yoni Ahafia, a graduate of the Accra Technical University took the third position.

The 12 finalists competed over three segments; Swim Wear, Avant-Garde and Dinner Wear and they also hit the runway in creations by designers Quophi Akotua Ghana and Stick and Stitches by Esinam after which the number was pruned to seven.

The seven were each asked to sell a product in a TV commercial in 60 seconds and convince the judges—designer, Marie Val Hagan, Slansette Oklu of Puma Energy and Prince IB, a model, on why they should be made winner of the fourth season of the only male modeling competition in Ghana.
