Last year’s competition saw the crowning of reigning Miss Bermuda, Jana Outerbridge of St George’s East.Mrs Trott-Seymour: “With every event comes more knowledge and I expect I will learn something new every year even if I produce this event for the next 30 years; it's the only way to improve.”Mrs Trott-Seymour said she couldn’t have asked for a better production team last year. The sold-out event received lots of positive feedback from the public.“However there's always ways to improve, so we this year's show will be even more spectacular,” she added.The event will be hosted by comedian and actor Nadanja Bailey and radio personality Patrina (Power Girl) Paynter.
