Talking about participation in this casting, the organiser has counted more than twenty candidates in the casting out of the seven or so registered at the launching. « The things have started, we have had more than 70 candidates registered, but unfortunately less than 25 have shown up (…) but the most important thing for us is that the desired number of candidates to start the competition has been reached » he has pointed out.

Created in 2023 by « Millenium Universal », a company run by Levi Lary, the « Miss Millenium Kinshasa » competition aims to promote the beauty and talent of women and to defend social, health and environmental causes. The competition, initially provincial and limited to Kinshasa, brings together 20 to 30 candidates aged between 18 and 27, all Congolese nationals and residents of Kinshasa. In addition to beauty, the competition also showcases women involved in social, educational and environmental causes. The winner of the 2024 edition, Patricia Makay, « Miss Millenium Kinshasa », was involved in environmental protection through the « zero plastic » operation, organised last January in the municipality of Ngaba in order to raise awareness among the municipality’s young people of the need to recycle plastic waste.
