Screening and selection of contestants for the 19th edition of Miss Niger Delta Peace Cultural Pageant would hold in designated states in Niger Delta between Friday and Sunday.
Director Communication and Media of the pageant, Karina Israel, said screening would hold at three zones to promote effective participation of young females from the Niger Delta.
Contestants from Delta, Edo and Ondo states will have their screening centre in Delta State while those from Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states will have their screening in Rivers State. Contestants from Cross River, Imo and Delta states will have their screening in Imo State.
Karina said contestants were expected to register online free of cost while forms can be obtained in the nine states from designated universities and polytechnics approved by the organisers. “The competition will take place next year and the winner of the competition will go home with a car, become an ambassador for Peace and Development, acquire skill acquisition, training programmes and there will be cash awards for all contestants.”
