The grand finale.

The finale is the shortest part of the pageant and the only part most people see. By the time the contestants walk out, they have been through auditions, weeks of training and months of community work. The night is where that becomes visible.

When and where

Saturday, 26 December 2026 at 6:00pm, at Aboonyaa Gardens, Nsawam.

Ticket details are announced to newsletter subscribers first — subscribe at the bottom of this page.

The running order

1. Doors and seating. Arrive an hour early — the room fills faster than people expect.
2. Opening number. All contestants, together.
3. Cultural segment. Each contestant presents her heritage in her own way.
4. Talent showcase. The skill each contestant chose to be judged on.
5. Advocacy presentations. Each finalist presents the work she has actually done.
6. Evening wear. The segment everyone photographs.
7. Question round. Unseen questions, answered live. This is where finales are won.
8. Judges withdraw. Scores are finalised while the audience is entertained.
9. Results and crowning. Special awards first, then the runners-up, then the crown.

What the audience decides

Public voting closes before the finale begins, and the totals are final at that point. Nothing announced on the night changes them, and no votes are accepted during the broadcast.

Vote totals are combined with the judges' scores using the weighting published before the round opened. Every vote remains checkable against its reference on the verification page, including after the crown has been awarded.

Attending

• Dress code: formal. The audience is part of the occasion.
• Arrive early. Seating is not guaranteed once the show starts.
• Photography is welcome; flash during performances is not.
• Children are welcome, but it is a late night for a small child.
