New beauty tilt for young Filipina Earth ambassadors

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Here’s calling all young Filipinas who are passionate about preserving and protecting the environment. Two new pageants were launched to promote Filipina beauty and talent as well as the preservation of Mother Earth.

Miss Teen Earth Philippines and Little Miss Earth Philippines will choose a young Filipina, aged four to 17, who can act as an earth ambassador and inspire fellow Filipinos to protect the environment.

At a press conference held at Gandiva Café, Vas Bismark, president of Captured Dream Productions and the pageants’ trademark owner, shares, “Miss Teen Earth Philippines and Little Miss Earth Philippines aim to reach out to young Filipinas and inspire them into thinking that beauty is not only a physical attribute but also an act of love. We want to spread awareness about the different environmental issues, organize activities to help preserve nature and be able to mobilize Filipinos to act with love and purpose in creating a cleaner, greener environment.”

The pageant, which bears the slogan Our Nature, We Nurture, is open to candidates from all over the country. A regional search will see contestants competing in four categories — casual wear, formal wear and regional costume made of recycled or organic materials. There will also be a question-and-answer portion. Regional winners will vie in the national competition.  One non-finalist will have a chance to compete for the title as a wildcard candidate. The selection of the wildcard contestant will be done through online and text voting and will be announced at the grand pageant night.

To qualify for Miss Teen Earth Philippines, one should be a Filipino citizen, 13 to 17 years old, single and a resident of the town or city she will represent for at least a year. Contestants for Little Miss Earth Philippines should be four to nine years old, currently enrolled in school or a home-based study program, and a resident of the town or city she will represent for at least a year.

The grand pageant night will be held in May 2014. The winners of Miss Teen Earth Philippines 2014 and Little Miss Earth Philippines 2014 will each receive P250,000 in cash and a talent contract courtesy of Captured Dream Productions. Miss Teen Earth will also receive funding for her proposed environmental project in her community.
