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.

Aku Favor is known for praising and worship­ing God wherever she is, whether in the kitchen or the bathroom; she always finds a way to lift God’s name. She shared that she got some of the lyrics for ‘Celebrate’ while taking her bath; receiving biblical inspiration while reading the Bible, specifically Psalm 150:6.

She said that with God’s guidance, she has created a beautiful song in English, Twi, and Ewe.

Her journey in gospel music has always been driven by her passion for worship, and this new song is no differ­ent. Fans are excited to hear the release and experience the spiritual depth and dedication that she puts into her music.

As gospel music continues to grow, artistes like her are making a strong impact by creating songs that are more than just en­tertainment; they are tools for worship and spiritual connection.
