Founder of Miss Golden Stool Beauty Contest, Sally Akua Amoakowaa has charged the 15 contestants competing for this year’s beauty pageant to take advantage of the platform afforded them to sell their regions.
According to her, each region had a unique cultural heritage which must be sold for the world to know and patronise.
She made these remarks during an interview with The Spectator at the launch of the pageant recently.
It takes somebody with a bold heart to take up the challenge of a reality show, because it demands creativity, money and hard work.
Akua Amoakowaa said that she and her team would build the confidence and emotional intelligence of the contestants adding that, as a beauty queen there could be attacks, and “if you do not have the heart coupled with resilience you will not be able to overcome it and succeed.”
She said, they had created the needed environment, groomed them but the contestants needed to deliver and market their diverse culture on the platform.
Co-founder of the pageant, Mrs Dora Owusu Adomah, also urged the various regions to vote massively for their representatives and called on corporate Ghana to support financially since the programme would help protect the country’s enviable cultural heritage.
The programme which has started airing on Adom TV on Sundays will run till November 20, where those who have made it to the final would have a bigger stage to prove their mettle.
In all, there are 15 contestants representing, Eastern, Western, Bono, Ahafo, Ashanti and Central regions.

Final-year students of the Accra Technical University (ATU) Department of Fashion Design and Textile Technology on Friday showcased their creativity and craftsmanship in Accra.
The annual event held under the theme: ‘Wear Your Culture: Tradition Meets Modernity,’ saw 366 students showcased various designs as part of their final year practical work.
Dean of the Faculty of Applied Arts, Professor George Agyei Osei, explained that the exhibition provided students with an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and competencies they have acquired throughout their training.
Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts and former Head of Department of Fashion and Textile Technology, Dr Mrs Emma Donkor, said this year’s cohort comprised 366 students, with each student producing four designs, one of which was exhibited at the school’s auditorium while three were presented during the fashion show.
Mrs Donkor encouraged graduating students to build their businesses gradually, noting that a sewing machine and a small workspace could provide the foundation for a successful fashion enterprise.
One of the graduating students, Philipa Adu, said the theme was a reminder to designers not to blindly imitate Western fashion at the expense of African culture.
