| WHY ATLANTA, USA FOR ITS 1st EDITION?

Atlanta, the capital of the State of Georgia, USA, has several historical and other assets that make it an ideal location for the first edition. Let me explain... Symbol of the civil rights struggle for men of color, birthplace of the Rev. Martin Luther King, it is also the cradle of gospel music. Cradle of gospel music with African roots, and homet o some of the biggest names in American hip-hop. In addition, Atlanta is the American city that has seen the strongest social emergence of members of the African American community. For the reasons given above, we believe that this first edition will reconnect the whole of Africa with its components, including the mother country to Afro-descendants and Africans born there.

| HOW DOES IT WORK?

The candidates, current Misses from fifty-four African countries, as well as from other countries of the world with Misses of African origin, i.e. Amazigh, Arabs of Africa, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Melanesian, African-Asians, Negro-Africans, African Americans and Euro-Africans, are eligible to become IMAC(International Miss Africa Committee)However, due to the minority nature of African communities in the Americas (North, Central and Latin America) Miss Black America or Miss Black USA, are eligible to compete and represent their respective countries. For example, if we were faced with a particular situation where, in the same country where Africans are in the minority in the same country where Africans are in the minority, we will draw lots to determine who will represent the country. However, the draw can be avoided if the other candidates withdraw.

Once each country has selected its national representative, the contestants submit their applications to the Miss Africa United pageant. There they are judged on similar criteria at a final event to determine the winner of the pageant. This process allows us to select the most qualified and worthy candidates to represent their country on an international level, while providing an enriching and rewarding experience for all participants.
