Beauty with a Backbone: Omica Pageant Turns Tiara Dreams into Leadership Realities

 

The Omica Mr., Miss & Mrs. India International Pageant is transforming the concept of being a pageant contestant, making the catwalk a podium for leadership and personal self-discovery. In contrast to other pageants, Omica is India's first-ever inclusive competition—welcoming all genders, marital statuses, and backgrounds and inviting contestants of any age between 18 to 45 without height, language, or complexion restrictions.

 

Celebrity judges Milind Soman and Neha Dhupia will adjudicate the grand finale, this October in Phuket, Thailand, following countrywide auditions and professional training camps. Candidates are trained intensely in fitness, nutrition, grooming, and soft skills to enable them to excel at showbiz and other aspects of life. Building confidence, communication, and leadership skills that can be applied in real life is the focus.

 

The winners will get cash prizes, brand endorsements, media features, and a year's worth of career guidance, but the actual prize is the makeover contestants go through: being outed as role models ready to inspire and lead in their communities. As Omica's ad slogan says, it's not beauty—it's being your best.
