Hitz FM SVG, Ezee Radio Valentine’s Day winners collect their prizes

The gift of being able to sing melodiously and posing for the camera has its benefits. This was proven last week Thursday — Valentine’s Day, when Keron Cottoy and his girlfriend Chrisann Mofford won the Hitz FM’s SVG’s cutest couple competition and Kenisha Mars, the Ezee Radio Valentine’s Idol. {{more}}

Leading up to February 15, persons were asked to submit photos of themselves to svgbccontests@live.com. The photos were then uploaded to the Hitz fan page.

The winning couple received 1,665 votes and the second placed couple received 1,287 votes.

“It’s a good feeling to be a winner and I want to thank each and everyone who voted for us.

“It was a lot of hard work and it paid off,” said Keron Cottoy, during the prize-giving ceremony held at the St Vincent and the Grenadines Broadcasting Corporation conference room.

The couple admitted that they had entered the competition “just for fun” but after receiving tons of “likes” to their photos, they decided to go for the grand prize.

“We didn’t plan on making it something serious, but after a while we just kept the pace.
