LAST CHANCE TO JOIN MISS UNIVERSE MALAYSIA AS ONLINE SUBMISSIONS OPEN FOR SEVEN DAYS!
Potential participants get one last opportunity to be considered for the reality show that will find the next Miss Universe Malaysia!
PETALING JAYA, SELANGOR, May 05 2011: If you missed the opportunity to sign up during one of the nationwide road show casting calls by the Miss Universe Malaysia 2012 search, then this is your lucky day!
“We have had calls and emails from girls from around the country asking us to let them take part even though they were not able to visit the road show to sign up. To that end, and in the spirit of inclusion, we are offering Malaysian girls one last chance to be considered for the Miss Universe Malaysia 2012 pageant through an online submission form at our website,” said national pageant director, Andrea Fonseka.
So far the pageant has seen approximately 1,000 Malaysian girls signing up to be considered for the most prestigious beauty pageant in the country. The online submissions are the only other opportunity for candidates to participate in this year’s search with auditions for the reality show expected to happen later this month.
Closing dates for the race to find Malaysia’s Hip, Urban, Relevant and Real women to represent the country is Thursday, 12 May 2011.
Malaysia’s Best!
Are you between the ages of 18 and below 27 as of February 1st 2012? Do you have a burning desire to see the world? A vibrant personality and being at least 163 cm tall is required as well.
Well, if you meet those requirements then the MISS UNIVERSE MALAYSIA ORGANISATION wants YOU!
All you have to do is visit www.missuniversemalaysia.com.my, fill in the online form and upload a recent photograph of yourself. It’s just that easy!
Featuring major changes to the way beauty pageants are held in Malaysia, the pageant seeks to identify and groom the next candidate to represent Malaysia at Miss Universe in 2012. The 2012 Miss Universe Malaysia pageant features RM200,000 in prizes and opportunities to the winning candidate and various other subsidiary title holders.
Celebrity, model and television personality Deborah Henry, who recently won the Miss Universe Malaysia 2011 title, will represent Malaysia at Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paolo, Brazil on September 12, 2011.
The nationwide search and this online submission is the first step towards finding the next Miss Universe Malaysia candidate and ensuring that she continues to work her way towards becoming the FIRST Malaysian Miss Universe in history!
This year also features the FIRST TIME that a reality television show will be used as part of the qualification process here.
Here’s how it works:
· The national search and online submission process will allow aspiring Miss Universe Malaysia’s to nominate themselves by having their pictures taken at the venues. The shortlisted candidates will be invited to meet the judges in Kuala Lumpur with the selected candidates being selected for the next stage
· The shortlisted candidates will then be placed within a sealed and secured SECRET location where they will undergo training, grooming and challenges – all on reality television (which we’ll reveal the details of later!)
· The final 10 from this show will then be judged on Gala Night with the winner being crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2012
