The Photogenic Award celebrates the candidate whose beauty effortlessly translates through the lens. This accolade recognizes not just physical beauty but also the ability to capture the camera’s attention with charisma, expression, and a photogenic presence that leaves a lasting visual impression. Do you have a face that the camera loves? Do you love having your picture taken? Then the Photogenic Competition is your chance to show South Africa what you’ve got!

The winners of the Photogenic Competition will be selected from photo(s), sent to info@missglobalprincesssouthafrica.co.za before the 13th of March 2026. You may enter one, two, three, or four photos, with each photo providing another opportunity to win! Each photo is a separate entry and will be R450 each or R400 if 3 or more photos are entered. The photo(s) may be either colour or black and white; both do equally well and must be High Resolution quality only. No cellphone photos will be permitted. Please only submit photos taken by a professional photographer. Head shots generally work best. Makeup is allowed but must be age-appropriate. You may submit up to four photos total. Please include your Name, Surname and Photogenic Entry in the Subject line of the email.

Helpful Hints:

Try to select photo(s) that show a happy smile and reflect a positive personality.

The appearance of makeup in the photo should be appropriate for your age.

If you are having trouble selecting one photo from several, show them to a few people who do not know you; ask each person to rank the photos from their most favorite on down. This will help you select the photo(s) to enter.

Bottom Line: You want to achieve “Personality in a Picture.”

Pictures that convey excitement or emotion often do well.

The Spokes model Award recognizes the candidate who effectively represents the ideals and values of Miss Global Princess. This accolade celebrates the ability to articulate a powerful message, advocate for a cause, and inspire others through effective communication and representation.

The Junior and Senior contestant with the highest score for this optional competition will present their Spokes model Speech at the Red Carpet Grand Finale.

Wow! Have you ever dreamed of being a model? Or perhaps being a news anchor or a leader in your school? A naturally confident smile and spoke delivery will combine to bring you success in this exciting contest, which was designed for us by a panel of journalist, queens, and successful models! The new titleholders will soon be Spokes model and Ambassador for Miss Global Princess South Africa.

Attire: Follow the “Junior interview Outfit” rules provided for the required interview competition. This will be applicable for the Junior and Senior Category. This means a solid coloured Jumpsuit, Dress, Jacket and pants etc. No patterned outfits and minimal jewellery and age appropriate make up and shoes.

Rules: The maximum time limit for your speech is 1 minute (60 seconds), which is ample time to deliver a speech of approximately 100 to 150 words. Since the limit is one of time, not words, your entry can be shorter or longer than 100 to 150 words, as long as you do not exceed 1 minute. Your time will begin when you arrive at the podium/performing space and begin speaking. Your time will end when you are finished speaking at the end of 1 minute, whichever occurs first. It is best to prepare your speech on white cardboard cards should you need to refer back to them. Please don’t read your speech, it must be mostly memorized. In composing your speech, you may recruit any help that you wish but be sure to use your own words!

Some topics that you may use but feel free to choose a topic of your own choice that you feel strongly about

• You may speak about your “platform” or a topic that you are passionate about.
• “My most admired woman” or “My favourite South African” (other than a family member)
• “I CAN…”
• “How we can make this world a better place”
• “My favourite quality” (such as Honesty, Tolerance, Integrity or others)
