All set for Miss Musilimah 2024
Winner’s of last year’s Miss Musilimah
Organisers of Miss Musilimah Ghana (MMG), Cruz House Event, organisers have announced the return of third season of Miss Musilimah Ghana following a year-long break.
The all-Muslim pageant with two seasons to its credit is by far the most recognised all-Muslim beauty pageant in Ghana and beyond.
This year’s competition which runs from now to October is dubbed ‘The Vote Free Season.’
The pageant would require no voting throughout the competition, making MMG the first beauty pageant in Ghana to introduce such format.
Speaking to the media about the new development, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ms Hawa Alidu, said, it would make the competition more accessible to people from diverse economic backgrounds.
“Most times, people who do qualify to some of these pageants do not end up auditioning because they first of all think about who and where they would be getting their voting support from. The few who make it through auditions are not typically evicted halfway into the competition due to insufficient votes, regardless of how good they may be. We want our contestants to feel that they have equal opportunities as far as voting is concerned,” she said.
Beyond this decision, she said organisers were also considering raising the cash prize amount for potential winners as well as introducing other amazing corporate and entrepreneurial opportunities for participants.
In addition she said, would be the introduction of the ‘Humanitarian Project Pitch’- a community-based project aimed at addressing a basic humanitarian need.
