Museum of Science to host beauty contest

The only beauty pageant in the world that focuses all its efforts on environmental protection and education is now ready to choose Florida’s official representatives to the national finals. On May 22, the Miami Science Museum will welcome beauties from all corners of the state who will vie for the greenest crowns in the industry, Miss Earth Florida and Teen Earth Florida 2010.

“We are part of Miss Earth, one of the three largest pageants in the world with more than 80 countries participating each year,” explained Sandra Silva, Florida Pageant Director. “It all starts here. Girls from all over Florida come to represent their towns. The Florida winner then travels to Las Vegas for a chance to become Miss Earth United States, who in turn represents our nation in the world finals of Miss Earth in Asia.”

The pageant will be held inside the planetarium, giving it an additional appeal with laser and star shows during the night.

Titleholders actually spend their reining year making all type of appearances that range from glamorous engagements such as magazine and TV interviews to greener activities as planting trees, cleaning up beaches and speaking to children about eco-friendly ways of living.
For the 2010 season, pageant organizers are inviting young ladies ages 15 to 18 for the Teen division, and 18 to 26 for the Miss division, to register before May 10. All cities and towns in Florida are invited.

Besides the right to represent Florida at the national level, winners of these pageants receive more than $25,000 in prizes, including official crown and sash, all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas for the national pageant, pageant coaching, three professional fashion photo shoots, fitness training, make up classes and products, diamond pendant, public speaking and leadership coaching, personal growth sessions with experts in the industry, beauty accessories and gift certificates, beauty magazine subscriptions and many other gifts.
