Unique The Miss Cultural Heritage Pageant concept is unique to other pageant concepts not just by name, mission, vision and objectives but also its programmes and production which are purely heritage. The fusion of heritage and beauty pageantry is very much an astute noble idea because it creates the idea of modelling for a purpose that is greater and deeper, making pageantry a tool for sustainable development. To represent a nation’s heritage is an important aspect because heritage is everything that a nation is made up of, from the physical and personality characteristics of the people, the values, the climate, the religion, literature, the laws, the man-made and natural features, the history and the current affairs and the ideas and philosophy of that country. All these things make up a country and they are the national pride and national treasure of each country.
