FACE OF GHANA ORGANISATION

PROUDLY PRESENTS

FACE OF GHANA-HOLLAND 2010

 

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES
Introduction

As organizers of the famed Face of Ghana – Holland Beauty Pageant we seize this opportunity to congratulate you on thought and choice you have made to be part of the mega success story and particularly your decision to participate in the event.

Face of Ghana Organisation is registered at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and the Face of Ghana – Holland Beauty Pageant, fully endorsed by the Embassy of the Republic of Ghana in The Hague. The event with the slogan ‘Beauty with a mission’ and expectation to showcase, principally, the abundant cultural riches of Ghana and the striking beauty her maidens are endowed with, seeks to, among others things, achieve goals;

1. To open door and provide career and educational opportunities not only to the winner, but also to all the contestants.
2. To offer a potent avenue where young women can build themselves up in elegance, poise, confidence, communication and public speaking, physical fitness, self-discipline and more importantly not only serve as role models for their generation but also inspire other peers to make the best out of their circumstance.
3.  To encourage active involvement of the contestants and particularly the title-holders in community service, public awareness campaigns and diverse charities.
4. To provide positive alternative to the many distractions and destructive activities that lure our young ones into wrong things today.

Following the very high level organizational skills put behind the last event and the mega success story it achieved, the event has earned the support of highly valued Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian businesses. This is expected not only to enhance the profile of the event but also your individual image and profile as a contestant.
