Auditions
for the 2012 edition of the Miss Ghana beauty pageant continue to post impressive
results.
Over
the weekend, in the Garden City of Kumasi where auditions were held for
contestants in the middle belt, the judging panel, made up of actress Nana Ama
Mc Brown, hiplife act Asem, professional photographer Barrak El- Mahmoud, Inna
Mariam Patty of Exclusive Events Ghana and Xavier of the Golden Tulip Hotel,
had a tough time choosing who had made it to the national finals.
After
a long wait on the third and final day of an audition process that had already seen
the contestants work on speech presentation, sales and marketing activation, and
a special photo shoot session, the judges eventually decided on the lucky six,
who will represent the Ashanti, Eastern and Brong Ahafo Regions respectively.
Out
of the lot who auditioned, Ohemaa Akosua Agyemang-Badu, an 18-year-old graduate
of the Holy Child Senior High School, Precious Kyei Bonsu, 21, of the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Sabina Aryee, a 24-year-old
student of the University of Ghana, Stephanie Nana Yaa Appiah of Conquerors
Pre-University, Emelia Ainoooson, 20, of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, and
Ayisha Hussein Baba Yara, a 23-year-old intern at the Center for National Culture,
Kumasi, made it to the national finals in Accra.

The
Kumasi auditions come on the heels of a successful and similar exercise held
last week in Tamale, where the first six of 20 finalists were chosen.
The
third and final auditions for the selection of contestants for this year’s
event took place yesterday at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra. Some eight lucky
contestants were chosen and added to the initial 12 selected from the northern
and middle belts to make up the final list of 20. This year’s finals take place
in September. It is being held under the theme ‘Evolution of Beauty’.
