This year’s theme is Miss Teen Star, and the search will be for a young, confident girl who has also excelled in numerous aspects including academics, sports, arts and leadership.

“Mirinda has been sponsoring Miss Teen for the past two years and this year’s objective is to make the property more exciting, fun and engaging,” said Ms Berna Kizza, the Mirinda brand manager.
