This year marked the 9th edition of the prestigious Miss Universe Malta event, organised and directed by Alan J. Darmanin
It was much more than just a competition. Twenty-five ladies embarked on a journey of self-discovery, receiving special training in catwalk, personality development, and public speaking. They also participated in various activities, photoshoots, interviews, and more.
The winner of Miss Universe Malta 2024 is Beatrice Njoya from St. Paul’s Bay. She is 39 years old, mother of 3 kids and works as a Player Risk Analyst. The first runner-up was Janei Desira from Zejtun followed by Julieth Vasco from Floriana placing as second runner-up.
By winning, Beatrice gets the opportunity to represent Malta at the 73rd Miss Universe competition which will be held this coming November in Mexico. This year’s competition breaks the record for the highest number of competing countries internationally having over 100 competitors. This year Miss Uinverse announced the removal of the age limit and for the first time, women over the age of 29 years old were allowed to take part. This news came after last year, also allowing married women and those with children to compete.
In Mexico she will have the chance to promote our country globally to an audience of over half a billion people in over 120 different countries.
