Since its inception in 2007, Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) has grown into one of the most prestigious cultural pageants in Ghana. The show celebrates not just beauty but intelligence, cultural identity, and advocacy — empowering young Ghanaian women to become voices for their regions and the nation at large.
Over the years, contestants from all 16 regions have dazzled audiences, but some regions have stood out with more crowns than others. Here’s a breakdown — from the least to the most successful regions in the history of Ghana’s Most Beautiful.
