Organisers have kicked off screening for the 2013 Carnival Calabar Queen Pageant.

The Carnival Calabar Queen(CCQ) pageant which doubles as a display of beauty queens as well as a charity event is aimed at encouraging and educating young women to uphold the virtue of abstinence from pre-marital sex and preserving the sanctity of womanhood, according to our findings.



The event which takes place on December 26 and 27 will parade a total of 30 beauties and is one of the major highlights of the 32-dayCalabar Festivalwhich runs from November 30 to January 1.



Organized by the Cross River State Carnival Commission in collaboration with MACA (Mothers against Child Abandonment) proceeds from the Grand Finale Dinner are expected to be used in supporting a charity home which is set up by MACA, known as the Refuge.
