Registration is now open for the 2019 edition of Miss Ekimogun Beauty Pageant.
The beauty pageant, which started on a very modest note in 2009, is a yearly youth/family-oriented activity that holds during the period of the annual Ekimogun festival in Ondo city of Ondo State.
Miss Ekimogun Beauty Pageant aptly called MEBP or Miss Ekimogun is a pageantry designed for young females between ages 17 to 27 from different parts of the country to exhibit their beauty and unique embrace of the heritage of various cultures across Nigeria.
According to Adefela Adeigbe, head, media and publicity for the event, the pageant has as part of its objectives, “to encourage among the young females, appreciation of good moral standard which the African culture embodies”, and it symbolizes the chastity, joy, beauty and splendour which the annual Ekimogun festival exemplifies.”
Owing to the importance attached to the Ekimogun festival by people of Ondo with their well-wishers from far and wide, he says, it is no doubt that Miss Ekimogun Beauty Pageant is a huge platform not only to showcase and celebrate African beauty and culture, but to also give opportunities to young females.
The theme for this year’s edition is beauty, brain and culture.
