2nd - 5th january 2025
The Sandler Center, Virginia Beach, USA
International finals
International Junior Miss is truly 'The Crown of Opportunities,' cultivating self-awareness in today's youth and young women. This distinguished event offers more than just a competition; it's a journey toward personal development and growth.
With a focus on recognising excellence in various categories such as modelling, public speaking, and academic achievement, IJM will award over $250,000 in prizes, travel and cash scholarships at our upcoming International Finals.
Delegates will participate in three key areas: the Interview Competition, fostering communication skills; the Evening Gown Competition, allowing for each contestant's display of grace and poise; and the Fun Fashion Competition, a platform for delegates to showcase their unique style.
The essence of IJM goes beyond the stage; it's about creating lasting memories for each delegate and their families. The schedule is carefully crafted to include opportunities to meet new people and engage in delegate activities.
The current titleholders, hailing from diverse backgrounds such as South Africa, Nigeria, The United Kingdom, Hawaii, Georgia, and Kansas, exemplify IJM's global reach and inclusivity.
Mark your calendars for our next event in January 2025. For our Sweet Sixteen, we will do a 'homecoming' to our original event location: The Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Get ready to witness not just a competition but a celebration of talent, style, and the incredible achievements of young women worldwide.
