The Calabar Carnival Queen, or CCQ for short, was conceived by Her Excellency Mrs. Obioma Imoke in 2007 with the sole aim of providing a spokesperson
that can stand to abolish child abandonment. The Carnival Calabar Queen Pageant (CCQ) is an annual pageant that holds in Calabar every December, a week
before Christmas. This year promises to be more exciting as mouth-watering prizes have been lined up for the winner and the runners up.
The lucky winner

Forms are available at the rate of five thousand Naira only (5,000) at Yellow Chili, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, Springs Day Spa, Abuja, and Mega Hilton Hotel, Calabar.
The
contest is open to all Nigerian ladies between the ages of 18-27. To qualify, participants must have spent one year in the university and possess a minimum
