This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes.

Hello and greeting everyone in the community. I hope that today all of you are doing great.

Today I want to share some of the photos that I took during the Mister and Miss Cultural International Malaysia 2024 that happened last two weeks. Me and my friend covered the whole event, me as the official photographer and my friend was the official videographer.

It was a great event to promote the culture that we have here on the nation. Any person between the age of 18 to 27 years old as for the female category can participate. They can represent any culture to bring and perform on the stage.

Below are some of the photo during the events.
