THE Miss Namibia Organization has unveiled the top 20 beauty queens who will take part in the Miss Namibia national pageant 2024 and also represent the country at various international stages such as Miss Universe.
While the country united behind Miss Universe Namibia 2023 Jameela Uiras, who made history by reaching the Miss Universe top 20 and scooping the “Face of the Universe” award, the public is once again beckoned to acquaint themselves with new beauty queens that come from all the diverse regions of Namibia.
“Our organization is committed to empowering young women and providing them with opportunities to make meaningful contributions to society. Through the Miss Namibia and Miss Teen Namibia pageants, we aim to nurture leadership skills, foster confidence, and instill a sense of social responsibility in our contestants. This year, we received an impressive 55 entries for Miss Namibia 2024 and 47 entries for Miss Teen Namibia 2024, highlighting the continued enthusiasm and participation in our pageants,” said Umbi Karuaihe-Upi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Miss Namibia Organization.
She added that the Top 20 finalists represent the diverse talents, ambitions, and aspirations of Namibian women, and the Organization is excited to see the contestants showcase their abilities on a national stage.
“The Miss Namibia Organization Vetting Committee went through all the requirements as stipulated on the application form, such as video introductions, photos, social media handles, age, citizenship, and payments. As we move forward with the competition, we invite the community to join us in supporting these remarkable young women. By attending our events, engaging with our contestants, and championing their causes, we can all play a part in creating positive change and uplifting the next generation of Namibian leaders,” Karuaihe-Upi said.
She added that the Preliminaries will be held in May, where the Miss Namibia 2024 TOP TEN and Miss Teen Namibia 2024 TOP TEN will be announced. The final date of the crowning will be announced in due course.
