The ECOWAS Peace Pageant is an annual international beauty pageant established in 2008 for promoting peace and the youth agenda of the ECOWAS Commission to the global community.[1] It is open to delegates from the 15 member-states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS )/Communauté Économique Des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest/Comunidade Económica dos Estados da África Ocidental (CEDEAO). However, since each country sends two delegates, the pageant membership is 30.[2]

The current Ecowas Peace Ambassador is Zirra Banu from Nigeria who was crowned in Port Harcourt on Friday, 14 December 2012.[3][4]
The venue for the pageant is selected by the ECOWAS Peace Pageant organization and the ECOWAS commission based on which country offering optimal support to the organization is chosen.[5]
The pageant winner is expected to spend one year to champion the cause for the pageant organisation's official charity, and avail herself for all fund-raising events.[6]
