Since its inception in 2024, the Mr. and Miss Empowered Youth Pageant has become a beacon of opportunity for young people in the Eastern Cape. Designed to uplift and equip aspiring models and pageant contestants, this prestigious event is more than a competition, it’s a transformative journey that builds confidence, cultivates skills, and prepares contestants for success in the industry.

At its core, the Empowered Youth Pageant is all about growth. Finalists don’t just walk a runway, they engage in impactful activities that shape their personal and professional development. Through charity work, public speaking engagements, and promotional campaigns, contestants hone their abilities, expand their networks, and showcase their potential to the world.

Stepping onto the stage should be about talent, not financial obstacles. That’s why the organization provides essential support to ensure that finalists can fully focus on their journey. From professional photoshoots to weekend accommodations and finale outfits, the pageant takes care of the details so participants can shine on stage with confidence.

Growth doesn’t happen in isolation, and in 2025, the Empowered Youth Pageant made a major leap forward expanding its reach to include participants from across the entire Eastern Cape. This initiative has brought diversity to the competition, welcoming contestants from varied backgrounds to celebrate their talents on a larger stage.

All roads lead to the ETC Conference Centre on June 14, 2025, where the highly anticipated finale will take place. Expect an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration, skill, and the undeniable presence of tomorrow’s stars. Family, friends, industry professionals, and supporters will gather to witness the crowning moment as finalists showcase their hard-earned talents.

In essence, the Mr. and Miss Empowered Youth Pageant is about empowerment, inclusivity, and talent development. It’s about giving young people the tools and confidence to chase their dreams fearlessly. If there’s ever been an event that proves passion and perseverance can pave the way for success, this is it. June 14 will be the day young talent takes centre stage.
