THE search is on for Miss South Africa 2025, and the age limit for entry has changed this year, allowing applicants to turn 32 within the year of reign.
Entries for Miss South Africa 2025 opened at 2pm on Wednesday and will close on Friday, April 11, at 6pm.
The applicant must be at least 20 years old and be under 32 years of age as of August 30, 2025.
Previously, an applicant could only turn 30 in the year of reign. There are also no height or weight specifications or requirements.
Powerful young women who dare to dream big, challenge the status quo and inspire others to face their power stand a chance to follow in the footsteps of current Miss South Africa, Mia le Roux, and become one of South Africa’s most prominent ambassadors and inspirational leaders.
Le Roux said when entering Miss South Africa the most important thing you can do is to come in with an open heart and an open mind because the journey will really challenge you to explore who you are and what you stand for.
"If you embrace the journey fully, you will come out knowing yourself so much better whether you take the crown or not,” said Le Roux.
She said the most important thing was for entrants to stay true to who they are and be authentic.
“This is how you will be consistent. Also be prepared; know yourself, know your country and be informed about the challenges that women face. You must have a strong work ethic but, above all, be kind.
"If you are sitting on the fence on whether to enter or not, go for it. Your voice can be a vehicle for change thanks to the role you will play and with the support of the Miss South Africa Organisation,” she said.
She said entrants were allowed to be human and that it was okay if they don’t always have the answers to everything.
"As long as you show that you are completely at peace with who you are and that you are always willing to learn.
“Being Miss South Africa 2024 has been beyond my expectations. Your life really changes forever but you also get to truly change others lives and redefine what it means to be a powerful woman. With each new woman being crowned, the definition of a powerful woman becomes more and more encompassing,” said Le Roux.
South Africans will once again get to know the finalists through the Miss South Africa reality competition television series, Crown Chasers.
Season 4 will include more episodes and for the first time ever include a post finale reunion episode.
Those who wish to enter, can go onto the Miss SA App (under the ENTER NOW page) or visit www.misssa.co.za, answer several questions, upload entry images (one head and shoulders and one full body image in colour) and the link to their entry video.
All entrants have to submit their Miss SA 2025 entry video via their personal social media channels.
