The search for the most beautiful teenager in the land kicks off this Saturday at the Garden City Rooftop, bringing to the end Vanessa Nansoove’s reign on the throne.
The Mirinda Miss Teen Season 5 search themed Selfie Edition will have teenage girls battle it out once again for the Miss Teen, Miss Ambitious and Miss Play hard titles.
According to Jeff Sekandi- Ag. Head of Marketing at Crown Beverages Limited, Mirinda through its Miss Teen beauty pageant is searching for school-going teenage girls between 15 and 18 years of age that exude the bold, fun, trendy, and responsible to represent the brand.
“Once again, we are out to find the girls that best define and represent the Mirinda brand. She has got to be smart, social, playful and knows how to free her fun-side yet still paying attention to her education.”
Vanessa Nansove, 16, of St. Joseph’s Girls SS Nsambya took the crown and 2.5 million shillings worth of school fees last year, a package that will once again be awarded to the winners of this year’s edition.
“Just like in the past, this year, Mirinda Miss Teen will get a scholarship, phone, sports jerseys and a party for their school to encourage the winners and other teenies to stay in school.” Mr. Sekandi added.
During her reign, Vanessa reached out to the disadvantaged children of Missionaries of the poor and called upon her fellow teenies to embrace the spirit of giving.
