The University of Johannesburg's Auckland Park Kingsway (APK) campus is abuzz with excitement as the prestigious Mr & Miss UJ APK 2025 competition officially opens for public voting. This year’s pageant promises to be the most dynamic yet, not only showcasing the charisma, intellect, and leadership of its contestants, but also embracing cutting-edge technology to power the entire experience — thanks to a strategic partnership with Acalytica.

Mr & Miss UJ APK is not your typical pageant. It is a platform that champions holistic excellence — where beauty meets brains, and confidence is matched with compassion. Contestants are judged not only on appearance but on their leadership potential, community impact, and commitment to social upliftment.
The 2025 cohort brings together a diverse group of inspiring young individuals ready to take on the challenge and represent the values of the University of Johannesburg on and off campus.
