Accra, Aug. 11, GNA – Ghanaian wellness and cultural experience brand Hamamat has launched a new competition series that will see participants compete in a variety of Ghanaian food, game and cultural challenges for a GH¢10,000 grand prize.
The competition series, which runs from August to December, kicked off at the Hamamat Wellness House in Accra over the weekend with an ice cream and popsicle eating contest with Rabbi emerging winner of the opening event.
Rabbi outperformed fellow competitors in the inaugural challenge, becoming the first winner in the series and taking an early step toward the ultimate cash prize.
The initiative would feature a range of competitions inspired by Ghanaian food, games and cultural activities, including pepper eating, Ampe, Oware, suya and kebab eating contests, jollof challenges, ice block eating competitions and other surprise events to be announced throughout the period.
According to organisers, the concept seeks to transform familiar Ghanaian foods, games and cultural experiences into live, interactive entertainment that people can participate in, share and enjoy both online and in person.
“The idea is simple: come with your talent, your appetite or your game and prove you are the best,” the organisers said.
Participants would have the opportunity to compete in individual challenges, qualify through successive events and work their way towards the GH¢10,000 grand prize.
The competitions are open to participants aged 16 years and above, depending on the specific challenge. Contestants under 18 years would require parental or guardian consent, while certain competitions may be restricted to adults for safety reasons.
Organisers said detailed rules and eligibility requirements would be announced ahead of each challenge, and interested participants are encouraged to follow Hamamat’s social media platforms for updates and registration information.
The competition series forms part of Hamamat’s broader mission of promoting Ghanaian culture, traditional wellness and African heritage through unique experiences and community engagement.
Known for initiatives such as the Shea Butter Museum, which showcases the history and cultural significance of shea, and the Hamamat Wellness House, an African-inspired wellness and experience centre in Accra, the brand says the new challenge series is designed to celebrate local traditions while creating memorable entertainment experiences.
