Miss landmine beauty contest

Cambodian disabled women will have good opportunity to participate in the contest of Miss Landmine beauty pageant, which will open in Cambodia next month under support from the ministry of social affairs, veterans and youth rehabilitation, the ministry of women’s affairs, the Cambodian mine action and Cambodian disabled people’s organization. It is hopeful that the contest will help raise awareness about the continuing risk of landmine around the world.

There will be the total of 21 contestants who are representing all provinces, except Ratanakkiri, Koh Kong, and Kratie are set to participate in the contest.

The contestants will launch a photo exhibition and a fashion magazine that uses land mine survivors as models at Meta House on August 7, and the public will be able to vote for the winner on the project’s Web site beginning on August 1.

The winner, who will be awarded a custom-made prosthetic leg, will be crowned by a special jury at a live stage event in Phnom Penh in early December. (photo courtesy from the Phnom Penh Post)
