Miss Ghana ready with auditions
Preparations for the 2013 edition of
the Miss Ghana beauty pageant is scheduled to take off on May 30 with a
three-day national audition. Auditions will take place at the Travel Express
Hotel in Accra from May 30 to June 1.
At a press interaction held in
Accra last Tuesday, the organizers disclosed that this year’s format of holding
only one national audition remains and said it has become necessary to explore
the novelty further.
“Although a slight change from last
year’s format, the brand will still maintain a nationwide appeal via various
activities that will take all finalists back into the other regions of Ghana
and get closer to potential contestants,” Inna Maryam Patty, C.E.O, Exclusive
Events Ghana said.
“All things being equal, the
national final will be held in July this year, hopefully allowing Naa Okailey
Shooter to crown her successor before the Miss World finals in Indonesia”, she
said.
This year’s event Miss Patty says is
“full of exciting packages; the concept of giving out three cars to the first
three winners still holds. Miss Ghana 2013 gets to keep her car while her two
runners-up use theirs officially, for a year.
“Winners will still get cash
rewards, products from sponsors, paid-holiday trips, internship and branding
opportunities with our sponsors, donors and partners.
“Our scholarship scheme, which was
instituted last year, and available to two contestants who are able to meet
Benedict College University’s criteria for selection, still stands.
“Regarding the success of our themed
events last year, namely the Street Fashion Show and Miss Ghana Kids Bazaar, we
are motivated to put up bigger events this year. Proceeds will still go to
support underprivileged children with major surgical problems”, Inna said.
The reigning Miss Ghana Naa Okailey
Shooter, who was present at the launch spoke extensively about the projects
she’s been involved in thus far, and how she is helping to bring relief to
thousands of women and children through her maternal and infant mortality
project.
She was upbeat about Miss World
2013, adding that she is putting in a lot of work to make her country proud.
The ceremony saw in attendance, some
officials of Exclusive Events Ghana, 2012 first runner up, Nadia Ntanu, and
Precious Kyei-Bonsu, who won Miss Photogenic last year, and who was announced
as co-host for the exciting Miss Ghana TV, hitting mainstream local television
soon.
Miss Ghana 2013 is an Exclusive
Events Ghana production with support from some corporate entities.
