Ziri Ezi

Ziri Ezi is Igbo for something that “is right” or “as it should be”.

Unleash Your Creativity

Part of our mission is to inspire creative thinking in our local communities. Ziri Ezi invites Nigerians to come up with innovative ideas that address any of the prevalent challenges in the country. 

The call for designs runs annually, and the shortlisted ten ‘ideators’ will be invited for a workshop with the judging panel to present, discuss, and refine their ideas.

The winner will be announced at the end of the workshop phase, along with two runner-ups and seven honourable mentions.
