As preparations for this year’s
edition of Queen Moremi Ajasoro (QMA)beauty pageant get underway, organisers of
the yearly event have rolled out mouth watering prizes for the next coveted
queen and other contestants.
Bill to hold in Lagos in the month
of November the winner of this second edition of the pageant will cart home a
brand new car from one of the sponsors of the event with N5 million investment
funds to the bargain.
In addition, the new queen
automatically earns the title of Cultural Ambassador to the Ooni of Ife, Oba
Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, who is the grand patron of the House of
Oduduwa and promoter of the beauty pageant. With this, she will enjoy the rare
privilege of accompanying the royal father to many of his engagements both
within and outside the country while expected to model the highest queenly
characters that Queen Moremi Ajasoro were known for.
Also, the queen will be fitted and
styled all through her one year reign by the headline designers, make up
artists, and stylists of the beauty pageant, which include Mon’ Ami (Larry Kay
Ojomo of Mon’ Ami Clothing) , whose first set of collections for the event was
showcased on London runway during the recently held Africa Fashion Week London.
Speaking on this development, the
Heritage Ambassador of Queen Moremi Ajasoro Legacy, Princess Ronke Ademiluyi,
said it is a welcomed development and a sign that the event would live to its
billing as a super beauty pageant different from others because of the royal
and cultural spin to it and the creative elements that come with it.
Princess Ademiluyi, who is the
founder of both Africa Fashion Week Nigeria and London, disclosed that more
prizes are expected as a number of the sponsors and partners are yet to come up
with their promised packages. She said that once the partnership deals are
concluded that the packages would be disclosed to the public even as she called
on more corporate bodies and individuals to sign up with the event as there are
more opportunities for sponsors and partners to come on board to make the event
a signature pageant for the country.
According to her, tons of
applications have been received since the application portal was opened to the
public for the event that is opened to Nigerian ladies from any part of the
country under ages 18 and 25 with a minimum qualification of secondary school
certificate and statistics of five feet and five inches among others.
Once the vetting of the applications
is ends in September, she said that auditions would commence in three cities,
Ibadan, Ife and Lagos, which would then be followed by the grand finale, which
promises to be as colouful and eventful as they come.
Queen Moremi Ajasoro (QMA) beauty
pageant is part of effort of the Ooni of Ife to preserve and promote the
legacies of the revered and legendary Ife queen as well as create role models
and empower young Nigerian ladies to be productivity and contribute meaningful
to the commonwealth of Nigeria and the globe.
