MISS  SWEDEN  DAY  CONTEST -

        Isabelle Catalano,  Miss Sweden Day 2009

As lovely as the contestants all seem to be, beauty is only a small part of the attributes leading up to being chosen as Miss Sweden Day. Poise, confidence, appearance, writing skills, interview skills . . . all have a part in judging the young lady who will wear the crown for an entire year and represent Sweden Day at various events throughout the New York metropolitan area. Of course the highlight of winning is a trip to Stockholm, Sweden, courtesy SAS Airlines. (NOTE: Restrictions may be made by the Airline to require travel within certain dates, typically by mid December) In addition to the trip, the winner receives some beautiful gifts and other lovely and useful items.

All Miss Sweden Day entries who attend the event will receive lovely gifts.

If you or someone you know might be interested in participating, email to MissSwedenDay@hotmail.com  for more details, or you can also click here for a copy of the application form which includes information about the contest.
