Established in 1992, the pageant aims to empower young women and promote social causes in Namibia. Contestants are judged on various criteria, including beauty, talent, and intelligence. The winner of Miss Namibia not only receives a crown but also opportunities for personal development and community engagement, often becoming a role model for young girls in the country.
