The annual beauty pageant in Rwanda, organised by Embrace Africa aims at giving more Rwandan women an opportunity to represent Rwanda in more international beauty pageants.

Paulette Ndekwe, one of the organisers of Rwanda’s Globe Top Model told The New Times that it is always a pleasure carrying the country's flag to an international event.

"I am grateful for this opportunity that can create more improvement in the future.Joining an international event, Rwandans must learn that it's not only about winning because destiny only decides who wins, and that the chosen one in each country is suited to winning.

"Rwandans first of all should expect from our representative to make our country known to some who don't know it yet, because they are appearing in different Indian activities like Women Empowerment in India and many other activities. They will also do fashion shows while carrying their country’s names on their sashes as well as being published in Indian newspapers and other international media. It is part of advertising Rwanda and making it known to the world and that may attract more tourists in our beautiful country .

Among the contest’s activities to be held include the Evening Gown Competition, Swimsuit competition, National Costume Competition and the judges will pick among them winners according to their performance. The prize fund worth 20,000 dollars will go to the overall winner.
