Sixteen contestants from all the regions of Ghana have been unveiled in this year’s TV3 Ghana’s Most Beautiful Reality Show which promotes the country’s culture for national unity.
This year’s edition, themed “Uniquely Ghanaian, Exceptionally African,” was colourfully launched at TV3’s Studio B last Sunday.
By their actions, the beautiful, eloquent and talented ladies on their unveiling proved they were all set for the next three months of excitement and marketing of their cultural heritage.
They are, Abiba, representing the Savannah Region, Kafui, holding the flag for the Volta Region, Achiaa, championing the heritage of the Ashanti Region, Talata from Upper East, displaying the “Tanga Spirit”, Adjoa, going all out for the Western North, Afriyie, leading the charge for the people of Central Region in their bid to reclaim the title, Asaa from the Bono East, and Yennube, ready to wrestle the crown for the North East Region.
Bono Region is safe with Afia, as Zuzu also gears up to go the extra mile for the Northern Region, and Ayanji lacing her boots to prove her mettle for the people of Oti Region.
Efua will be poised for action for the Western Region, Naa, with ‘host and win’ in mind will stand for the Greater Accra Region, clearly the Eastern Region will be a hard nut to crack with Ofosua representing, the good story of Ahafo Region would be told by Abena, and Maali will do everything in her capacity to make the people of Upper West proud.
All of these wonderful contestants will face the tough analysis and scrutiny of Linda Ampah, Adjetey Anang, and Michelle Attoh as judges.
Four Ghanaian celebrities, Lydia Forson, Prince David Osei, Salma Mumin and Adjetey Anang earlier this year joined TV3 to scout the entire country for contestants to compete in the 2020 Ghana’s Most Beautiful. Out of which these 16 contestants got the nod.
Speaking at the official launch of the programme on Friday, the General Manager of Media General TV (TV3/Onua TV), Mr Francis Doku said the 14 years of GMB has been positioned as a platform of showcasing and educating Ghanaians on the rich Ghanaian culture and other elements shared by various societies across the country.
He added that there would be strict adherence to the COVID-19 protocols put in place by health experts.
Over the next three months, the contestants will exhibit their mind blowing performances every Sunday night between 8pm and 10pm.

After years of development, funding, and creative grit, Ghanaian feature film “Ego Reach We All” has earned an official nomination to make its world premiere at the 79th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this month.
Formerly titled Vagabonds, the 105-minute drama was written and directed by Amartei Armar and produced by Yemoh Ike.
It marks one of the biggest international breakthroughs for Ghanaian cinema in recent years.
The film was shot entirely in Ghana with a Ghanaian cast and crew, grounding it in authentic local culture.
Post-production was completed in France, a collaboration that Director Amartei Armar says reflects the film’s spirit, “A Ghanaian story told with the world.”
The journey began in 2018 when the short film version won at the Montreal World Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying event.
From there, ‘Ego Reach We All’ grew into a full-length feature backed by some of the most respected names in global film development: Winner – Cannes Focus CoPro, Recipient – Red Sea Development Fund, Honoree – Red Sea Souk Award and Backed by – Red Sea Productions Fund.
Industry watchers have called it one of the most promising African film projects to emerge in the last decade.
Beyond awards, the project was shaped in top international labs.
Armar was selected for the Heyazah Screening Lab in Doha, Qatar, to refine the film’s narrative.
Producer, Yemoh Ike joined the prestigious, 2023 EAVE Producers Programme under a CNC scholarship, with training sessions in Luxembourg, Austria, and the Netherlands.
Most recently, the film was chosen for the 2025 Atlas Workshop in Marrakesh, Morocco, cementing its place in global cinema circles.
Casts include, Idrissu Tontie, Dorothy Adobea Tandoh, Emmanuel Wilberforce, Barbara Yong Jin, Emmanuel Owusu Ofori, O’Bryan Kwame Enyan, Gabriel Narh Addo, Nelly Bilson, and Kwame Brenya.
For the team, Locarno is not just a festival slot. It’s validation that Ghanaian stories, told by Ghanaians, can compete on the world’s most respected stages.
“Principal photography was done entirely by Ghanaian creatives,” the producers noted.
