The search for Miss Universe Ghana 2012 is set to take off on Saturday, August 18.

The auditions will be conducted at 10A Volta Street in the Airport Residential Area of Accra, beginning at 10 am, and producers are looking to select 15 amazing young women who will compete in the final showdown to select this year’s titleholder.

Interested young women must be between the ages of 18 and 25; a Ghanaian with a valid national identification card which they must come along with, and also stand 5.7ft’ or taller. The competition is the National Preliminary of the Miss Universe® Pageant.

The Ghana preliminary is a recruitment process to select a young woman who is the quintessence of the 21st century Ghanaian woman – ambitious, charismatic, savvy, elegant, intelligent, beautiful, and assertive, to represent Ghana on the world stage.

The lady who survives the process becomes an instant celebrity and will need to have the strength of character to be an ambassador for Ghana and assume the role of a leader, spokesperson and humanitarian activist.

A sneak peak of the incredible prize package for the 2012 Miss Universe® Ghana titleholder which is clearly designed to jump start the professional, social and humanitarian career of this year’s winner, includes an all-expenses paid trip to New York, USA to represent Ghana at the 61st Miss Universe® Pageant, a 3-month Internship with the United Nations Organization in New York City, an internship with a leading international fashion magazine, a 4-page editorial spread in an international magazine, personal appearances at national and international social and charitable events – all of these amazing opportunities mentioned are just a partial list of what awaits this young woman who will become Miss Universe Ghana 2012!

A host of other great opportunities are also in store for the 2012 Miss Universe Ghana court and all the participating finalists.

The Miss Universe® brand returns with fresh energy, ideas and influence, and will focus on the unique combination of creativity, flawless execution, and business savvy to produce this “big – event entertainment”.
