THE hunt is on to find Cheshire’s most glamorous girls as the Miss England competition returns to the region.
After making it all the way to the final 20 of Miss England 2010, organisers are hoping this year’s Miss Cheshire will go the extra mile to bring home the crown.
Current Miss Cheshire holder, Holly Ikin, is urging contestants to come forward.
She said: “Since winning I have been so busy. The opportunities I have had are incredible, from competing in Miss England to filming television commercials.
“For any girl considering entering, I would say 100% go for it. You would not believe the doors that open for you by doing the contest. Miss Cheshire was such a fun competition and winning was simply a bonus.
“My advice to any future contestant would be to be yourself and show the judges your personality - they don't want a china doll for a winner. Do Cheshire proud, if I could do it all over again, I would.”
In a twist to this year’s application process, people are being urged to nominate someone they believe is the perfect ambassador for Cheshire.
Successful entrants will take part in the awards ceremony in May 2011.
The winner of Miss Cheshire 2011 will, among other prizes, win £250 cash and a place in the Miss England final where she will have a chance to go onto Miss World 2011, where the main prize is $100,000.
They must be aged 17-24 on December 31, 2011, and must never have been married or have children.
Contestants for Miss Cheshire have until December 31, 2010 to enter via the Miss Cheshire website on www.missenglandcheshire.co.uk.
