Beyond Glamour: A Platform for Service
According to the organisers, the pageant goes beyond beauty and glamour. The initiative seeks to provide a platform for young women to showcase their talents, promote positive values, and champion social causes.
“Contestants will emerge as Humanity Champions, promoting positive social change and undertaking impactful humanitarian and community-based initiatives across Nigeria,” the statement read.
The pageant is a project of “Humanity Without Borders,” the pet project of the Wife of the Governor of Cross River State, Bishop Eyoanwan Edet Otu.

As part of activities leading to the grand finale, contestants will go through stages of assessment designed to test their confidence, communication skills, intelligence, creativity, personality and commitment to humanitarian values.

Call for Sponsorship
The organisers also called on corporate organisations, government institutions, development partners, philanthropists and individuals to support the 2026 edition through sponsorship and strategic partnerships.
