Miss TGPC 2016, Episode 1: Meet the Contestants

Miss TGPC 2016 is a culmination of dreams that we have seen at ‘The Great Pageant Community‘ over years. We started the call for entries in July 2016 and we received a great response from not only India, but also across the globe in 20 days. After a through screening process, we shortlisted 13 candidates whom we believe have potential to grow and become a better version of themselves with the feedback, criticism, tutorials and learning provided by us, our judges, our members and our readers by the end of this contest.

The girls were excited to be a part of this contest as they think that Miss TGPC 2016 has provided them the opportunity that allows them to compete against the girls from different corners of the world without having much of efforts and resources to be invested into it. It also provided chance to the girls from remote locations to compete in pageant which otherwise they can’t as the auditions are held in metro cities where these girls can’t reach easily. Over next 6 weeks you shall be seeing this girls wining you over and getting better with every episode. So without any further ado, we present you the 13 finalists of Miss TGPC 2016.
