Hope Pageants Botswana brought forth not just multiple awards for young women and girls for their hard work. As the local pageantry industry continues to grow, it has boosted the contestants' confidence and also encouraged many to up their game. The newly crowned Miss Hope Botswana 2025, Myheart Ditlamelo proved to have what it takes to be the queen. She not only walked away with the Miss Hope Botswana title but also scored a few awards after working hard to be this year's queen. She was given the Public Speaking, Best Interview, and confidence awards, and the Best Project Initiative award.

Angel Golekanye scooped the Miss Teen Hope crown whilst Winnie Mokgatlhe won the Miss Pre-teen Hope. On the other hand, Amil Charles scooped the Little Miss Hope Botswana title. Unlike other categories, the Little Miss Hope Botswana had runner-ups. Atira Rapula was named the first runner-up, while Jael Batsile won the second princess title.

Sebaga Ntshole won the Miss Golden Heart crown, and that is the other category that has runner-ups. Lubu Mvimi scooped the first runner-up title, whilst the second runner-up title went to Tshiamo Mothibedi. The queen of queens was won by Keamogetse Masole who also scooped several other awards. Masole won the Community Service award and the Popularity award. This year, the pageant added two more crowns, being the Miss Hope North scooped by Atlang Mokganelwa and the Miss Hope South won by Nthati Tlalanyane.
