Aiming to create opportunities for Bangladeshi women to represent the country on global platforms, the 'Miss Bangladesh Impact Forum 2025' was officially launched on Tuesday at Le Méridien Dhaka.
The announcement came from Meghna Alam, Miss Earth Bangladesh 2020 and Chairperson of the Miss Bangladesh Foundation, who inaugurated the event highlighting its expanded scope from a beauty pageant to a global diplomatic and leadership platform.
At the launching ceremony, it was announced that Bangladeshi women aged between 18 and 26 - who are unmarried, responsible citizens, environmentally conscious, and culturally aware - will be eligible to apply for the competition starting July 17 via www.missbangladesh.com.
Following an initial selection process, 100 shortlisted participants will be invited to audition on September 26 at Le Méridien Dhaka. From them, 20 finalists will be selected for a month-long fellowship programme, where they will work on creating impactful stories using plastic and waste materials as part of their advocacy.
The fellowship includes training in pageantry, advocacy speech, entrepreneurship, reproductive and mental health, and fitness. The final winner will be crowned 'Miss Bangladesh Earth' and will represent Bangladesh at the 25th Miss Earth pageant in the Philippines, which focuses on environmental justice and sustainable development.
