Almost every little girl in Singapore has had a dream of one day becoming Miss Universe Singapore when they grow up.
Despite the evolving competition, the pageant has always been a platform that celebrates the unique beauty of women in Singapore — helping to develop their core values and personality to become a confident and unique individual that will inspire others and the community.
This year, for the first time in Miss Universe Singapore’s her-story, the pageant was opened to all Singaporean women who were at least 18 years old, making it eligible for even those who are married, divorced, or with children to enter.
