Ammanford’s glasses wearers have under a month left to express their specs style and be in with a chance of winning £10,000 cash.

Dance diva, Oti Mabuse, kicked off Specsavers’ Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition and is encouraging glasses wearers across Ammanford to submit their entries before the deadline of Sunday, June 30.

Glasses wearers aged 16 and over just need to share a selfie and tell Specsavers what their glasses mean to them to be in with chance of winning the prestigious accolade.

Oti – who swaps her specs for contact lenses when she hits the dancefloor – said: ‘I’ve got about 20 glasses and I love changing them to go with different outfits. I feel more confident when I put my specs on. I wouldn’t be Oti without them!’

Seven finalists, plus a social media favourite voted for by the public, will attend a celebrity-packed awards ceremony in London, with one overall winner scooping the top award and cash prize.

Kevin McCarthy, store director at Specsavers in Ammanford, says: ‘There is just a month left for people in Ammanford to share their specs appeal with the whole country. We’re encouraging glasses wearers to upload a selfie at loveglasses.specsavers.co.uk today. It couldn’t be easier.’

For every entry accepted, Specsavers will donate £1 to children’s anti-bullying charity Kidscape and over the last 10 years the competition has raised more than half a million pounds.

The money raised from entries will help Kidscape provide training, support and advice for children, parents, schools and those who may be affected by cases of bullying and abuse in the UK.

Oti continues: ‘Kids used to call me “four eyes” but I always say four eyes are better than two. I believe people should be proud to wear glasses. Embrace them, they are part of who you are and you are fabulous!’

For the chance of scooping the biggest accolade in the specs-wearing world, glasses wearers can enter the competition online before it closes next month, at loveglasses.specsavers.co.uk.
