Pageant sets sights on regional standards

The preliminary competitions for Miss Teen Namibia and Miss Namibia have been set for Friday and Saturday at Gobabis in the Omaheke region, with the organisers saying this year’s pageants aim to meet regional standards. The organisation is making a bold statement, says Namibian Broadcasting Corporation spokesperson Beulah Boois-Beukes in a recent interview. “The preliminary competition is where the full picture of each contestant truly comes into focus,”

Boois-Beukes says. “It’s not just about outward presentation, but about confidence, articulation, stage presence, and authenticity, which was determined by the judges during the pre-interview stage.” The judges are assessing how well each young woman embodies the values of the brand, ensuring that whoever makes the top 10 has the stamina to carry the title for a full year.
