We are looking for candidates to represent Nepal at the Miss Festival Contest on October 27, 2018 and November 4, 2018. Young women ages 14-18 with parents who are members of the Albany New York Nepalese Society and who would like to represent ANNS at the festival are encouraged to apply. To apply, please complete the attached application and write a one page essay autobiography. Selection of Miss Nepal AFON will be by several judges, and all candidates will be recognized. Candidates will be questioned about their essays and involvement with the Nepalese community.
There are two sessions where Miss Nepal AFON will compete with candidates from other countries. The first will be on the evening of October 27 at the Marriott Hotel on Wolf Road. The second will be the afternoon of the Festival of Nations on November 4, 2018. Each of these involves answering questions while each contestant wears the dress from the country they represent. Judging is based on answering the questions.
Selection of Miss Nepal AFON is scheduled for 7 pm on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at the home of Mohan and Jane Thapa in Troy, NY. If you would like to participate, please complete the attached form and send the form and your one-page essay by Thursday, September 27, 2018 at 1 pm. Judges who are not members of the Nepalese community will volunteer to participate. If you would like to participate but are unable to attend at that time, please let me know and we will try to make accommodations. Please confirm that you would like to participate as soon as possible so the judges can be finalized.
Please contact Jane Thapa with any questions. For your information, a festival flyer is also attached.
