The spectacular event that brought together the most beautiful Cameroonian-born women residing in the United States of America, mesmerized even members of the jury as the choice was indeed a tough one, according to press reports.

The pageant saw the 11 contestants compete in various categories such as Public Speaking, Talent, Fashion and Interviews before the no-nonsense jury including veteran journalist, Eric Chinje, and an eager public, some of whom had flown into the USA to attend.

Miss Heidi Time was first runner-up while Nadège Ngamne was second runner-up. Nora was crowned by outgoing Queen Larissa Ngangoum. Daughter of Mr and Mrs Richard and Helen Fualefock, Nora Ndemazia was raised in Buea, chief town of the then South West Province.
