The event scheduled for Big Ada as part of this year’s Ada Asafotufiami festival would for the first time, see the winner walk away with a brand new car.
It has been a tedious journey which began with hundreds of beautiful ladies, seeking to walk away with the bragging rights as the most beautiful from the land.
The 10 finalists carefully selected from different clans of Ada for the grand finale include, Kakie, Olerkie, Kikie, Oforiwa, Akleh, Dede, Chiakie, Kabukie, Korkor and Kabukwor.
Contestants would be expected to answer questions on Ghanaian culture and heritage as they look forward to representing the people of Ada at the national stage.
The winner would automatically become an Ambassador for the people of Ada.
Over the years, winners of the competition had excelled in various beauty pageants across the continent and beyond.
For organisers, it would serve as another opportunity to educate and enlighten young ladies about virtues including humanity, discipline and respect.
It promises to be a keenly contested event as there would be several attractive prizes and opportunities aside the vehicle to be won.
