If you want to be a model or a beauty queen,

You need to have contacts.

You need to be tall.

You need to live in metropolitan cities.

Agree?

We don’t.

 

If you want to be a model or a beauty queen, you just need to have a strong desire and the optimism  to move towards this dream.  And then the universe will support you with opportunities that enable you to get to where you want to be.  And one such opportunity is Miss TGPC!  We are thankful to all the followers of the pageant for your interest and love.

Now it is time for a major round in the contest – The Ethnic Wear Competition.  And we call this round major because few girls will leave the race for Miss TGPC 2016 title at the end of this round.

Task: In this round, the contestants were to send their videos in ethnic wear.  The length of the video should be 30 seconds maximum and the background music was also given to the contestants. The evaluation of the videos shall be done by judges on criteria like ramp-walk skills, sense of styling, grace/elegance suitable to the theme, confidence/attitude and the overall impact.

Ethnic Wear Competition, Episode Video

Within a given period of time, the contestants were asked to submit their videos.  Experts at The Great Pageant Community did a first-level screening of the videos and made suggestions to the contestants for improvements.  Sending new videos was not mandatory, yet many of the contestants showed their strong dedication by sending new videos within the initial time-limit itself!  Here is the episode 6 video in which videos of all the contestants have been combined.  We recommend you to watch it in 360p quality at minimum.

Some of the contestants have shot their videos on the terrace, while some have shot it in the hall-ways of their houses!  As they say, where there is a will, there is a way.  🙂
