Castle Gates Shut as 124 Hopefuls Lock in for MBCQ 2025

The grand gates of the Most Beautiful Campus Queen (MBCQ) 2025 have officially closed, sealing in 124 courageous young women who dared to dream, apply, and step into the most prestigious campus pageant in Nigeria. With the application window now officially closed, the MBCQ 2025 journey begins — not just toward a crown, but toward discovery, growth, and transformation. This year’s edition, guided by the theme “Innovate the Female,” continues its mission of celebrating beauty with purpose, spotlighting young women who are not only seen but heard, valued, and empowered. Speaking on the form closure, Divine Future Johnson, the visionary behind the brand and currently the youngest pageant director in Nigeria attempting a Guinness World Record, shared: “This is a defining moment. These 124 applicants have taken the first and boldest step. They’ve chosen to rise, to be seen, and to be shaped by a process that creates queens who lead, influence, and inspire.” As the competition officially begins, the 124 contestants will undergo a multi-tiered selection process designed to test their confidence, creativity, character, and charm: • Visual auditions will reduce the number from 124 to 50, • Skill-based tasks and public voting will cut the 50 down to 20 finalists, • Judges will then select the Top 5, • The top 5 will be trimmed to a final Top 3, • And from those 3, 1 queen will rise. MBCQ is renowned for being more than a stage — it’s a launchpad for future changemakers, influencers, brand ambassadors, and advocates. With mentorship programs, leadership coaching, and scholarship pathways, the experience ensures every participant walks away transformed — crowned or not. As the Castle gates close, the nation watches with anticipation. Among these 124, a new queen is being made — not by luck, but by light, vision, and resilience.
