With only days left to the Miss Uganda grand finale, Ugandans are yet to celebrate the new Miss Uganda queen who will be crowned this Saturday, October 10, at the Sheraton Hotel Kampala.
The grand finale, powered by Uganda’s favourite sherry, V&A, will be marking a major milestone since the new queen will be crowned at the same time the Miss Uganda foundation is celebrating 15 years of empowering young women.
“As V&A Sherry, we are always proud to be a part of platforms that empower women. Being a sorority that empowers one another, we are proud of all the young women who had the ambition and the confidence to dream beyond boundaries; and participate in this year’s pageant. May the best girl win because as V&A we are rooting for you all. Give the grand finale your best,” said Roy Ronald Tumwizere, Brand Manager for V&A Sherry at Uganda Breweries Limited.
The journey that begun on June 18 comes to an end after a series of regional tours, an intense boot camp, presentation, talent and top model nights where Ugandans were given an opportunity not to only follow the journey but also vote for their favorite contestants for a spot in the top five.
This Saturday, 22 finalists will put everything on the line as they compete to become the next Miss Uganda. Throughout the competition, contestants have been trained on matters such as leadership, building confidence, advocacy, and personal development, reflecting Miss Uganda’s mantra of Beauty with a Purpose.
Whoever is crowned on Saturday will also represent Uganda at the Miss World competition, carrying the country’s culture, aspirations and identity onto one of the world’s biggest stages.
Beyond the glamour and elegance of the evening, the grand finale will celebrate a new generation of Ugandan women who are redefining leadership, resilience and self-belief. It is these qualities that have transformed the competition into a platform that empowers women to use their voices, embrace their individuality and create meaningful impact in their communities.
As anticipation builds, the stage is set for an unforgettable evening celebrating beauty with purpose, leadership and the limitless potential of Ugandan young women.
