The grand finale which held at Gloryland Cultural Center,Yenagoa, saw the 20 finalists being engaged in different activities ranging from quiz to cat walking and display of fashion. At the end of the exercise, Uba emerged the overall winner of the beauty contest. Other prices won by the contestants include the most photogenic contestant and the Best costume among others.
