The new look website for the 2011 Miss Blackpool competition was launched this week at the Lancashire Hotel, Catering & Hospitality Show in Blackpool's historic Winter Gardens.
Organiser Karen Cookson - herself a former Miss Blackpool - attended the event to promote the competition and also her Angels Elite model agency. She said: "A lot of people don't realise that you can buy tickets for the Miss Blackpool Final so we thought we'd take a stand. It's always a really enjoyable glamourous occasion and this year it will be at the Norbreck Castle Hotel on Friday 19th August. It is one of the oldest, most prestigious and fun competitions going - what better to help promote Blackpool...?"
The heats for the 2011 competition take place at CoCo Nightclub at Che Bar in Blackpool Town Centre on Thursday evenings from 23rd June to 3rd Auguss. Girls aged 18 to 30 are welcome to enter whether they have been married or not and whether or not they have children. There is no cost to enter and you can just come along and join in on the night. The heats are contested wearing evening/club wear (no swimsuit necessary...!).
Most importantly: you DO NOT have to live in or come from Blackpool to be eligible to enter so the competition is especially attractive to visitors and holiday makers as a fun way to spend an evening out. Friends and family are encouraged to come along and support the heats and the final.
The 1st and 2nd placed in each heat win cash prizes on the night and also qualify for the Grand Final on 19th August.
