Miss Liberia is a young woman who exemplifies style, grace and brains; she is hard working and most important, she is dedicated to her country and to empowering its young people. Miss Liberia is the queen of Liberia; she is a future leader, a mother to be, a survivor, a patriot, educator and a humanitarian.

This year, nine beautiful and intelligent women emerged as finalists from the various counties; however, due to unfolding circumstances, three of the contestants have dropped out of the competition leaving the challenge to six and will be contesting for the crown and title of Miss Liberia 08/09.
