The Hidden Treasure hosted the Miss Nepal 2024 Talent hunt for the 26 contestants at the Russian Culture Centre, Kamalpokhari, on Thursday. The date also marked the 30th anniversary of the pageantry platform.

The theme of the event was “Women with Wings”.

All 26 contestants prepared for three weeks for the event. The participants showcased a diverse range of performances from dance, poetry, singing, and acting.

Each participant was allocated 3-4 minutes to perform their act.

The event was judged by a distinguished panel that included Film Director and Producer Prakash Sayami, Yeti Airlines’ Chief Business Officer Yubraj Bhattarai, Dancer Roji Shrestha, Dance Director Keshav Thapa, and President of Kathmandu JCI, Anjila Khadka.

The judging criteria were based on four categories: Stage presentation, timing and confidence, originality and content and overall performance.
