Eleven contestants are vying for the 2020 Miss Supranational Rwanda crown as the beauty contest takes shape. Organised for the Rwandan chapter by Supra Family Rwanda Ltd, the annual beauty contest is seen as a good opportunity for Rwandan girls to showcase their beauty, culture, and talent to the rest of the world. The girls will compete in five crucial challenges that will decide the top five contestants who will progress to the pageant’s grand finale slated for January 1, 2021. The winner of this year’s edition will replace Shanita Umunyana and will, apart from the crown, walk away with a cash prize of Rwf1 million. She will also win a ticket to represent Rwanda at the Miss Supranational Global 2021 to be held in May next year in Poland.
