She also noted that the concept of the public contributing to crowning a queen shall be done primarily via voting on the Miss Ghana app and voting can be done from any location. Voting, according to her, shall constitute 40% of the total votes up until the quarter finals. Inna again made mention of people being awarded randomly for voting.
Giving a speech to officially launch the event, was Honorable Mark Okraku Mantey who said, “People have been groomed through beauty pageants. They’ve had some coaching, some publicity, talents have been nurtured, some have become stars overnight, beauty pageants have given some of these people networks. Out of beauty pageants, you get to meet a lot of people and you must take advantage of the people you meet. It also promotes culture, our music, fashion, entertainment, and has created jobs for people. We must work together to make sure that pageants survive because it’s an ecosystem and whether you like it or not, you stand a chance of benefitting from that ecosystem when pageantry survives”.
From this, Honorable Mark Okraku encouraged Corporate Ghana, individual entities and everyone to support the cause in their own way to make sure that pageants survive in Ghana because beauty pageants, as he sees it, help greatly in promoting the nation’s development.
ATL, as sponsors of the Miss Ghana pageant, promised to unveil a special cloth collection for this edition to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the beauty pageant.
