The journey from Northern Uganda to Kampala was described as a significant one for the young women involved, underscoring the effort required to compete at this level.

Nile Post added that the Northern Uganda results followed an earlier Eastern Uganda contest in Jinja, and that the search will continue in West Nile, Western and Central Uganda.
