From MALUM NALU in Lae
Hengali village beauty Noelyn Kahata was last night crowned Miss Ahi 2012 at the Sir Ignatius Kilage Stadium Indoor Complex in Lae.
Kahata, 21, beat contestants from the five Ahi Ahi vilages - Ms Yalu Dodo Miul, Ms Kamkumung Jasmime Hasu, Ms Butibam Pamela Delabu, Ms Yanga Aito Aiten, and Ms Wagang Anna Sekep - to be be crowned in front of a fullhouse crowd of predominantly Ahi villagers.
Kahata was crowned by Ms Ahi 2010, Christine Amos, from Yanga village.
She is an open and distance learning student at the University of Techology in Lae while working for Oxford Medical Supplies.
"I'm so proud of the work that Ahi Festival major sponsor, Riback Stevedores, and other sponsors, are doing to help our young people in the six Ahi villages in Lae," Kahata said.
"I hope to proudly carry out the work of Ms Ahi from 2012-2014."
There was no prouder person that night than her father, Ben John Kahata, who was with wife Taiyo to celebrate their daughter's win.
"I'm very proud of my daughter," he said.
"I'm happy that she has made it."
Other prizes were for Ms Traditional (Ms Yalu), Judges' Choice (Ms Kamkumung), Second Runner-Up (Ms Butibam), First Runner-Up (Ms Yanga), and Ms Traditional (Ms Yanga).
