Diwakar Rajkarnikar, chairman of THT, said that auditions for the upcoming edition of the pageant will take place in all seven provinces to make Miss Nepal “more inclusive”. 
Regional auditions will be held in Itahari, Birgunj, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Nepalgunj, Surkhet and Dhangadi. 
The dates and venues for the auditions will be announced later, Rajkarnikar said. Audition in Kathmandu will be held on March 18 at Park Village Hotel, Budhanilkantha.


Contestants who pass the auditions will join a two-month long grooming session conducted by some of the best trainers in the country, organisers said. 
Rachana Gurung Sharma is returning as the choreographer and creative director of the event. Creative D Studio is in charge of photography, Neelam Chand is heading the Kathmandu College Activation, and Ashutosh Shrestha is taking charge of visuals for the event.
