It might be the first time in history that a pageant above 28 years runway limit competes with contestants who are still in their 20s.
This norm was defied by African model from Uganda Judith Heard after being nominated as the ONLY representative from Uganda at the first ever MISS ELITE pageant competition held in Egypt.
For the 34-year-old Ugandan model, it has always been a dream to share her story through modeling, showcasing art and now pageantry.
She is set to battle a line of 31 other contestants representing different countries. Amongst these countries; Morocco, Kenya, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Sweden, Finland, Greece, India, Colombia, Lebanon and many more.
