The Pageant will be multi-faced and will present a series of varied performances on the day for the audience including cultural dances from all over Uganda.

It is much more than just a beauty platform, with an emphasis being placed on contestants who demonstrate the ability, commitment to charitable causes and who portray a positive image of the modern Ugandan woman and the beauty of Uganda as a country.
