Lots of entertainment was showcased as Bunyoro-Kitara traditional dance group took to the stage and performed the famous entogoro dance.
For the main event to commence, the organizers waited for a full house because by the time the contestants introduced themselves to the crowd, the venue was full to the brim, and this was around midnight.
The contestants exhibited their fashion talents as they made different outfits from different inspirations in regard to tourism. Their outfits were made with materials like banana leaves, mats, newspapers, hides, and skins, among others.
The contestants were each asked different questions by the judges. The questions, which needed logic and general knowledge, got some contestants misfiring while others were on point.
