The Uganda Pageant Girls 2022 coronation night will take place at the MTN Arena in Lugogo, Kampala, Uganda on August 20, 2022. It is the first edition of the national beauty pageant that selects Uganda’s Miss International, Miss Earth and Miss Planet candidates.

Currently, Uganda has one Miss International placement. The African country has yet to place in Miss Earth and Miss Planet.
