Miss Earth Ghana 2012 launched
There have been and still are several beauty
pageants or different reasons but one that need
the attention of all and sundry is the Miss Earth
Pageant which is has been launched in Ghana.

The pageant which comes off in January 2012 would
source participation from tertiary institutions,
and auditioning will be conducted in January.

The Southern sector will be auditioned on 15th
January (Greater Accra, Eastern Region, Western
Region, Central Region, and Volta Region).

The Northern Sector will be auditioned on 22nd
January, (Ashanti Region, Brong Ahafo Region,
Northern Region, Upper East, and Upper West).

After the auditions, 20 finalists will go through
several levels of competition in the battle for
the ambassadorial crown of Miss Earth Ghana.

The 20 finalists will go into camping on 30th
January and stay on for three to four weeks. This
will be a period of rigorous environmental
activities and will also be a period of public
participation through text messaging to determine
the 12 finalists that will compete at the grand
finale.

The environmental activities include tree planting
exercises, which would take place in the Greater
Accra, Ashanti and the Northern Regions alongside
visit to selected schools to give talks on
environmental preservation.

According to the National Geographic, the world
climate is changing more rapidly than ever before
with the main cause being human activities.

As this happens, increasing drought and declining
water supply will face all poorer countries,
thereby exposing hundreds of millions of people to
the increasing risk of water shortages. Cereal
yields will continue to drop in Africa.

Illness and death will rise from heat waves,
storms, floods, droughts, and fire outbreaks; and
also a rise in malnutrition among children of poor
countries.

In recent times, the world has suffered from
environmental disasters such as we had in Haiti,
China, Japan, and presently Thailand. And in
Ghana, just a little over two weeks ago, we
experienced another flooding that, once again
claimed lives.

Statistics have it that these are precipitates of
human activities that go against the environment.


For the past eight years, 1st Royal Events, the
Franchise holders of this august contest, and who
have leased it out to the two collaborating
companies-Marketing Bees Network (MBN) and Events
Galore, have ensured Ghana’s participation in
the international event in Philippines and other
countries so far.

These ladies are taken through a special grooming
on environmental issues including documentaries
and sent out to represent Ghana.

Against the background of National Environmental
issues such as flooding, bush burning,
deforestation, littering of beaches, Miss Earth
Ghana delegates shall embark on a series of
environmental activities with special emphasis on
afforestation – tree planting, in line with the
international theme and in tandem with United
Nations environmental theme for this year – THE
INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF FORESTS, 2011, Our theme is
“CHANGING THE FORESTS ON THE PLATFORM OF
BEAUTY”.

Miss Earth Ghana would win an official car, GH ¢
10,000. 00, a wardrobe for one year, and a ticket
to the international event.
