Miss
Africa International Pageant
Mokoli Productions will
produce the first Miss Africa International Pageant at the Washington Convention
Center in DC Saturday, November 1, 2003. The evening will feature renowned
African musicians, actors, fashion designers, dancers, artists and models
from around the world.
A panel will judge the contestants
in four categories:
- Fitness Attire
- Talent Competition
- Traditional Attire
- On Stage Interview
There will be no bathing
suits. Instead, contestants will wear sarongs displaying rich, colorful,
hand-woven African fabrics. Elders are advising Makoli Productions and will
advise contestants.
The pageant will also honor
African achievers through the Salute to Excellence Awards, which pageant organizers
will give on the night of the pageant. Nominees must be citizens of an African
country or have one African-born parent or grand-parent. In 2005, Makoli
Productions plan to sponsor a Ms. Africa Intercontinental and include Africans
born throughout the diaspora.
