The event promises to be a vibrant celebration of beauty, talent, and empowerment. Miss Teen Universe Botswana chief executive officer, Tshepho Tlhapi, explained that the evening will feature a series of highlights, starting with a dynamic performance by all contestants. Tlhapi said this vibrant showcase, often involving dance or a themed introduction, will set the tone for the event. "The evening gown segment will follow, where contestants will exhibit elegance and poise in formal evening wear. To emphasise confidence and fitness, there will also be a swimwear segment," Tlhapi said. She said the pageant’s primary aim is to motivate, support, and empower our contestants. She stated that the organisation is dedicated to promoting confidence and self-esteem among participants, ensuring they shine on and off the stage.
"Entertainment for the night includes performances by local artists and dancers, with notable acts such as The Dance Trio and BranT MO set to take the stage. The judging criteria for the pageant are comprehensive, evaluating contestants on poise and confidence, personality, physical fitness, elegance and style, intelligence and awareness, grace under pressure, and overall impression," she explained. Meanwhile, Karabo Moeti, the pageant coordinator, highlighted the importance of these aspects, noting that they collectively determine a contestant’s ability to represent the title with dignity and responsibility. He stated that the winner of Miss Teen Universe Botswana will earn a fully paid trip to represent Botswana internationally. Additionally, runner-ups will have the opportunity to compete on international stages such as Miss Teen Charm, Miss Teen World, and Miss Tourism Africa.
