This year’s edition of the beauty pageant will see a bevy of 11 beauties tussling for the crown.
The pageant is open to any interested woman, with no restrictions like other professional pageants, as focus is only on facial beauty and knowledge of Black Opal products.
This year’s winner will pocket $8 000 and a year’s supply of Black Opal skincare and colour cosmetics among other prizes, while one lucky customer will drive away in a Toyota IST.
Partson Chimbodza of Chipaz Promotions — who joined hands with Black Opal cosmetics distributors in Zimbabwe, Yolana Investments, said preparations for the concert were at an advanced stage.
“As what has become our tradition with these visiting Jamaican musicians, we are organising a tour of some ghetto suburbs, with the musician (Romain Virgo) for him to meet some of the youths he inspires and if time permits, he might do some collaborations with a local artiste,” Chimbodza said.
