Queen of FVMA - EVE-26

FVMA is introducing something new this year at EVE-26 — Queen of FVMA, a pageant that brings together culture, confidence, and community in a meaningful way.

EVE has always been about celebrating Easter, Vishu, and Eid as one community. With Queen of FVMA, we are creating a space for individuals to step forward, represent their roots, and share who they are — not just through appearance, but through voice, personality, and presence.

This is not a conventional pageant. The focus is on confidence, cultural connection, and authenticity.
