Auditions for children that will participate in the first edition of the Kids and Teens Pageant Global Uganda were held at the Golf Course Hotel, Kampala on Sunday, April 28, 2024.

The beauty competition will feature boys and girls aged between six and 18 years from various primary and secondary schools.

According to Doreen Namugenyi, the country director of Kids and Teens Global Uganda, the competition is a talent search with categories such as Mini Miss Global (four-nine years), Little Miss Global (10-12years), Miss Pre Teen Global (13-15 years), Little Mr Global (four-12 years) and Miss Teen Global (13-18 years).

"The auditions attracted over 25 children and we are expecting the number to be around 60 as some children are still in school completing their first term studies,” she said.
