The Nanango Funfest committee is conducting a search for this year’s Heritage Nanango Mardi Gras Princess.
All young women aged 16 years or over who live in Nanango or the surrounding districts are eligible to take part (although contestants under 18 years of age will require their parent or guardian’s consent).
The winner will receive $1000 worth of prizes, including $500 cash.
Judging for this year’s Princess will take place at a gala $20 per head public event held at Nanango’s Copper Country Restaurant on Wednesday, October 1.
At the judging, contestants will be introduced individually by the compere and invited to make a brief presentation outlining their background and expectations for the role of Princess.
Guests will then be given an opportunity to vote for the contestant of their choice by secret ballot.
The winner will be decided solely on the basis of the number of votes received, and will be crowned Heritage Nanango Mardi Gras Princess 2014 on the night.
The Princess will take a prominent place in the Mardi Gras Parade through the streets of Nanango on Saturday, October 4.
To enter, girls need to complete and return an official 2014 entry form and a sponsorship fee of $100 to the Nanango Funfest committee by Monday, September 22.
Entry forms and more details can be obtained by phoning Gloria Kirkness on (07) 4163-2848.
