The Grand Finale of the 18th edition of the Sunsilk Mega Miss North East will be held on 29th December. It will be hosted at the ITA Cultural Complex, Machkhowa from 5 PM onward. This announcement was made in a press conference today held in Guwahati.
At the press conference Abhijit Singha said, “We are so glad to be back with the most awaited beauty pageant of northeast. And the most unique aspect of Sunsilk Mega Miss North East this year is that we will have not one, but three winners! There will be no runners-up and all the three top contestants will be crowned equally, along with the same prize packages. Mega Entertainment aims to offer equal opportunity to every young woman to become a force of positive change in North East as a youth icon. So, this is a step on our end, to open up more such opportunities for our winners going forward.”
The organizers have also revoked the minimum height criteria for the contestants for this year. This step will ensure that every woman who has the talent and confidence can make a mark and gets an opportunity to make it big in the world of pageantry. Height has been one of the biggest hurdles for many talented women from the region in making it to the national and international pageantry circuit.
Three winners of this year’s Sunsilk Mega Miss North East will be crowned equally, and will be awarded a prize package worth Rs. 1 Lakh each. Apart from that, they will also win a professional photo shoot by Prashant Brahma Photography, travel opportunities, professional representations, and opportunities to participate in different socio-cultural activities across northeast.
Top-15 contestants will participate in the Evening Gown presentation, where they will showcase the creations by top fashion designers and brands like Jansai, Karan Thokchom, Arif Mukhim, and the Official Designer of Mega Entertainment Dipika Devi.
The organizers have chosen 50 finalists through a series of auditions held in Shillong, Imphal, Dibrugarh, Guwahati, Kohima and Agartala from the 7th to the 13th November. The contestants will undergo a strict pre-judging process during their training and grooming sessions, and eventually 3 women will win the coveted title of Sunsilk Mega Miss North East 2021.
