Chantel Boeren scooped the Miss Teen Namibia 2025 title at a glitzy event at Ongwediva in the Oshana Region last night. 

In a dazzling display of beauty, talent, and cultural pride, 16-year-old Chantel Boeren came out top at the event held at the Ongwediva Trade Fair Centre.

The event, hosted for the first time in northern Namibia, marked a milestone in bringing national beauty pageants closer to communities across the country.

Boeren captivated the judges and audience alike, not only taking home the main crown but also being awarded the Miss Photogenic title for her striking presence and charm both on and off camera.

The competition was fierce, with Sylleste Nandago earning the title of First Princess.

 Nandago also won the Public Choice Award, reflecting her widespread popularity and support from fans nationwide.

 Melanie van der Merwe was named Second Princess, completing the impressive trio of winners.

The grand finale was a vibrant celebration of youth empowerment, featuring a range of segments including cultural performances, a swimwear showcase, elegant evening gowns, and in-depth interview rounds. 

This edition of the Miss Teen Namibia pageant was not only a platform for beauty but also for advocacy, education, and leadership.

The hosting of the pageant in Ongwediva marks a significant shift by the Miss Namibia Organisation to decentralise the event and increase regional participation, making the platform more accessible to young women from all corners of the country.

Vice President Lucia Witbooi, representing the president, graced the event, and other dignitaries formed part of the guest list. 

As anticipation builds, all eyes now turn to the Miss Namibia 2025 grand finale, set to take place tonight, also at the Ongwediva Trade Fair Centre.
