Created and organized by the Remaja magazine owned by the Kumpulan Media Karangkraf Sdn. Bhd (now known as Nu Ideaktif Sdn. Bhd) while Astro television is the main broadcaster of the contest. Since its establishment in 1985, the pageant have crowned 11 winners. The winner is crowned by the previous edition's titleholder.[1]
The reigning Dewi Remaja is Nurel Bahrin from Kuching, Sarawak.[2] She was crowned on 29 November 2023 at CIDB Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur by the outgoing titleholder, Tracie Sinidol of Sabah.[3] She is the first Sarawakian and the second woman from East Malaysia to ever win the title of Dewi Remaja.[4]
History
During the 2018 edition of Dewi Remaja, the winner Haneesya Hanee was stripped off her title due to a controversial video of her with other friends at a nightclub.[5][6] However, she was not replaced by any of the runners-up.[7] For the first time in the history of Dewi Remaja, the Remaja magazine did not feature a winning image of the winner on the cover page.[8]
Format
Each edition of Dewi Remaja has eight episodes and starts with 10 to 12 contestants. Contestants are judged weekly based on their overall appearance and participation in challenges. In some editions, every contestants get the chance to be appear on the cover page of Remaja magazine; each episode, one contestant is eliminated, whereas in exceptional situations, the panel of judges did not comply on an elimination.
Selection of participants
Started from 2019, the talent search, which was jointly organized by Remaja magazine, one of the brands under Nu Ideaktiv (formerly known as Karangkraf Group), explicitly states that each participant need to go through the category of "General Knowledge" as one of the participants' scoring criteria in order to increase the variety of participants. Judging panelists Scha Al-Yahya (former Dewi Remaja) and Yusry Abdul Halim will be judging 30 percent of the marks for personality, 35 percent for talent, and 35 percent for overall performance which includes the general knowledge.
Following that, a total of top 20 quarter-finalists were chosen for the final screening, with only 12 being chosen as semi-finalists.[9]
