DUBAI: The Miss Universe Bahrain Organization announced this week that its beauty pageantwill take place in July as it released the official trailer on social media.
“Miss Universe Bahrain 2022 is back and we are here to find a beautifully confident woman to best represent the modern Bahraini women - knows how to speak her mind, knows what she believes in and knows that she is beautifully confident,” said Josh Yugen, president and national director of the organization.
Yugen said that the main aim of the competition is to “redefine the standards of beauty and the stereotypes around it.”
He said that for the new edition, he and his team prepared “exciting and interesting activities” that will help them know more about their candidates through a mentorship program.
The first edition of Miss Universe Bahrain, which took place last year, crowned model Manar Jess Deyani, who made history for being the shortest-ever candidate of the Miss Universe pageant standing at 154.9 cm.
She also made waves when she chose not to wear a traditional swimsuit at the show’s preliminary round, receiving a lot of support and recognition from women and the community she represents.
Deyani said in a released statement that Miss Universe Bahrain changed her life. “Competing at the Miss Universe last December made me realize that the world is so big, and we need to open our hearts and souls to accept and respect our cultural differences because at the end of the day, we are all the same, and we live in the same world,” she said.
“I am so excited to meet the next lucky girl who will wear the prestigious title of Miss Universe Bahrain 2022,” added Deyani.
