The chief judge of the event, [Kollywood](/source/Kollywood) actor [Rajesh Hamal](/source/Rajesh_Hamal), asked the top 5 finalists, "Are all traditions to be followed without question or do they need to be discussed and amended?" The contestants were supported by fashion designer groups INIFD, NEFT, Lakhotia and others. The event differed from previous pageants in that it featured modifications of Nepal's traditional ethnic dresses. Designs from INIFD (International Institute of Fashion Design) were judged to be better than the dresses from competing designers.
