Organiser Milika Trott-Seymour said applicants must be single, without children and be able to travel.Residents have until January 31 to submit their application forms, which can be downloaded at www.missbermuda.bm or on the Miss Bermuda Pageant Facebook page.She said she was “very encouraged” by the interest shown already in the pageant with a few young ladies registering immediately after last year’s event.“The Miss Bermuda Pageant is an excellent experience for those who would like to try something new and meet new people,” Mrs Trott-Seymour said. “All of the young ladies who participate grow tremendously throughout the process so I would encourage all who are interested to apply for this life changing experience.”At a minimum, they are looking to have ladies to represent all the local parishes.
