The 2022 edition of Ghana’s most prestigious and oldest pageant, Miss Ghana has been launched in Accra at the Tang Palace Hotel on Thursday.
This was to commence the search for the next selfless young woman to lead the Miss Ghana brand.

It further generates awareness of various socio-economic problems, collaborating with government institutions and corporate firms in sending relief to various deserving communities across the country.
Described as the most influential beauty pageant in Ghana, it also grooms and prepares young ladies for the future while they uphold the country’s culture and traditions.
This year’s pageant marks the 65th anniversary of the Miss Ghana brand which coincides with Ghana’s 65th Independence anniversary celebration.
The launching ceremony on Thursday was attended by several dignitaries such as the Gyasehene Of Akuapem And Chief Of Amanokrom, Nana Osim Kwatia II, Lady Justice Julia Sarkodie, and Nana Akosua Frimpomaa of Convention People’s Party (CPP).
The rest included showbiz personalities such as Kalsum Sinare, Beverly Afaglo, Mzbel and socialite Akuapem Poloo among others.

Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture, Mark Okraku Mantey in an address endorsed the Miss Ghana pageant and encouraged civil society and corporate bodies to firmly support the initiative.
According to him, the pageant is very important not only because it promotes Ghana’s rich culture but it also helps improve the socio-economic needs of the people by way of creating jobs.
“Years ago some of us felt that it was for fronting of beauty and so some of us went on the radio and said all sorts of things about beauty pageants and why they should not get sponsorships and all of that. But growing up we now know that especially after watching the documentary, people have been groomed through beauty pageants. They had some coaching, they had some publicity. Some have become stars overnight. It nurtured talents. The pageant has given some of these people networks. Out of a beauty pageant, you get to meet a lot of people and you must take advantage of the people you meet. It promotes culture. It projects our music, fashion, entertainment and it’s created jobs for people. I wouldn’t want to mention names but some of the media people you see today as morning show hosts and entertainment show hosts, some of them came from Miss Ghana,” he indicated.
Inna Patty, CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana organisers of the pageant thanked everyone who has helped the pageant come this far.
She said this year also marks a decade since her company took over the organisation of the pageant.
They are grateful for all the support, adding that the pageant “will continue to contribute, socio-economically to our national development and beyond.”
She noted that the Miss Ghana organisation would host a big audition in Accra on April 2, 2022 at the Tang Palace Hotel to select wannabe queens. The Miss Ghana main event, she indicated is expected to come off July 2022.
