Miss
Southport 2013 is looking for you!
THE hunt is on for Miss
Southport 2013 and it could be you!!! Well if you fit the
criterion that is very strict. Anyway we joined up with the
talent hunters in Southport over the weekend to track down
potential contestants for the event that will be held this year
at a well known Southport hotel, but more on that in next week’s
issue. This is far more than a beauty pageant or modelling
competition, the organisers of Miss Southport are looking for an
ambassador for the area. The contest Miss England heats and the
main event have at times coursed some upset with a select few,
as entrants must not be married or have been married, plus they
cannot have had children. For the few who take offence, this
contest is more than a beauty show and offers far more to an
applicant than many other talent shows or similar events, plus
it is not just about looks. In 2009 for example a British
soldier decorated for bravery in Iraq, known to her British Army
colleagues as Combat Barbie, Lcpl Katrina Hodge became Miss
England, at the age of 22! After doing Miss World, as Miss
England, she returned to active service! Many of the models who
have won have gone on to do well in many areas connected with
modelling and in the fashion or entertainment industry. The main
competition, Miss Southport, is a direct entry heat into the
Miss England competition, amongst other prizes. In Miss England,
she will have a chance to go onto Miss World where the main
prize is $100,000! Plus the aim of the contestants is to raise
as much money as possible for Charity through contestant
fundraising and activities along the way. For many who enter
this is a chance to gain self confidence and do something that
they have never done before. Many contestants make new friends
and contacts along the way. This year the event will also have a
new addition. After many requests they are running the very
first contest for girls aged 13 to 16, as well as the
traditional 17 to 24 age group category. Sadly only a select
number of girls appearing on the catwalk at the Final in the
junior event, but still worth entering if you think you have
what it takes. Remember though, be you if you enter and as we
keep saying, it is not just about your looks! The Miss World
motto is "Beauty with a Purpose" and this is
something all entering, no matter the age, should fully
subscribe to. So if you want to enter... remember that the
winner could be an existing model, beauty pageant contestant or
a complete newcomer. Many Miss England heat winners have won
their heats with no prior experience. It could be you!
