Last Friday Selorm Gallery won the maiden edition of the ‘Miss Goldenwood Beauty Pageant & Talent Hunt’ which took place at the National Theatre and hosted by Nollywood actor cum comedian John Okafor also known as Mr. Ibu with assistance from Amanda Jissih.
Selorm beat her fellow 9 contestants to be crowned the winner of the pageant aimed at discovering raw acting talents and nurturing it. The finals opened with 10 contestants who by their sheer acting dexterity made it to the finals and ready to battle each other for the coveted crown.
The 10 finalists were Abigail Budu, Connie Nartey, Doreen Kumanytum, Esmerald Naana Arthur, Ida Seidu, Juliet Osei, Manuela Scheppelmann, Nana Adwoa Twumwaa Baafi, Selorm Galley and Sylvia Aboagye Kesewaa.
Earlier on in the competition, 5 of the contestants were evicted for their inability to convince the judges so far as their acting was concerned. On the night, the ladies went through several tasks given to them by their coaches as well as answering questions pertaining to the Movie Industry.
At the end of the day, Selorm Gallery came on top as the winner. The first runner-up and the second runner-up was won by Sylvia Kesewaa Aboagye and Esmiralda Arthur respectively.
