‘Face of Nepal’ competition making comeback

By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Apr. 29:The ‘Face of Nepal’ competition, an annual event since 2016, is set to make a comeback this year, welcoming both male and female participants. 

Organised by M.S. Production Nepal, the competition follows certain criteria.  According to the organisers, male contestants must stand at least 5 feet 8 inches tall while females must be a minimum of 5 feet 5 inches, with ages ranging from 18 to 30 years.

Originally hailing from South Korea, this model hunt franchise has been successfully acquired and adapted in Nepal. 

With over 27 participating countries in the Korean edition, the Nepali adaptation promises to be equally competitive. 

Menuka Majhi, the National Director of the organising institution, will oversee the event’s proceedings.

Applications for the Face of Nepal 2024 will open on  Monday (April 29),  and preparations are underway to conduct auditions across all seven provinces, informed the organisers. 

Following the selection process, chosen participants will undergo a rigorous 15-day training session facilitated by renowned trainers in the country.

The final event, slated for July, will see judges evaluate contestants, and winners will be determined through a voting system. 

The top three winners will earn the opportunity to represent Nepal on the international stage in South Korea in November 2024.

Smith Tamang will handle the choreography for Face of Nepal 2024, while Rupesh Thapa will serve as the photographer.
