As indicated by C.E.O of Exclusive Events, Mariam Inna Patty, this year’s contest will see the team travel to all 10 regions of Ghana to select the most qualified ladies for the pageant.

The cross-sectional approach of selecting the ladies has been necessitated by calls for a multicultural representation on the Miss Ghana stage.
