   After three rounds of keen competition that tested communication skills, intelligence, beauty, elegance and poise, Yvette stood out the most and was adjudged the winner.
   
   Daisy Asare Akoto, a student, came out as1st Runner Up while Joyce Akagbo, a third year student at the Ghana Institute of Journalism was 2nd Runner Up. The competition was judged by Emma Moisan, Dennis Nii Dodoo Smith, Gerad Boakye, Pearl Amoah (Miss Universe Ghana 1996 & Fashion Designer), and Ronke Nedd. All delegates were dressed in clothing by the Royal Dennis design label and styled by Sleek Cosmetics.
   
   After crowning the new beauty queen, the producers of the Miss Universe Ghana pageant stated, "After weeks of scouting, we are excited to present a remarkable Ghanaian woman, who we are confident, will make a poignant statement for Ghana at the international event. We are looking forward to a strong presence at the Miss Universe Pageant, and commend the judges for selecting a young woman who is indeed the quintessence of Ghanaian femininity".
   
   Yvette Nsiah will represent Ghana at the 2008 Miss Universe Pageant slated for Nha Trang, Vietnam on July 14. She will join the ranks of other remarkable young women around the globe who have the honour and responsibility of being ambassadors of their respective countries to this international event. Yvette was excited by her victory and has promised to make an impressive showing at the Miss Universe Pageant.

   While I do not object to the Miss this or that pageants, I think Africa needs to organize:
   
   ONE
   
   An African Inventor of the Year Prize
   
   TWO
   
   An African Culture Annual Award
   
   to those Africans who may contribute significantly to these areas every year. This will boost African creative minds and reward them as an incentive to motivate other Africans. It will promote Africa in many other ways as well.
