Models represent area at national competition
Two Scarborough women will be competing at Miss British Isles events this upcoming weekend.
Bronwyn Curtis, of Newby, will be participating in the Miss Teen British Isles on Sunday September 10 while Maria Beckwith, of Ravenscar, will be competing in Classic Miss British Isles.
This will be Miss Curtis’ second modelling pageant.
Miss Curtis, who works at the Core Fitness gym on Westborough, said: “I have always wanted to be a model and I was asked to apply for Miss Teen British Isles.
“I am looking forward to representing North Yorkshire, I feel that I'm not just representing North Yorkshire I'm also representing Scarborough.”
Miss Curtis will be sponsored by Hearts and Crafts piercing studios and Precious Little Things, both located on Bar Street.
She will also be sponsored by Purple Pup cafe, on Eastborough.
Maria Beckwith has been selected to participate in the National Final of the Classic Miss British Isles 2022, after winning Classic Miss North Yorkshire this year.
Miss Beckwith, who works at Raven Hall Hotel in Ravenscar, said: “It’s an opportunity of a lifetime. I am competing against gorgeous women across the British Isles.
“I am so excited and can’t wait! It has always been my wish to be on the catwalk and it’s finally come true.
“It’s a dream come true! Whatever happens on the final, I am truly grateful for the opportunity and will remember it for life.”
Miss Beckwith has volunteered for charities in fundraising events. This year she has just completed 100 squats a day for 30 days and plank for three minutes a day for 30 days supporting Cancer Research Charity.
Miss Beckwith is passionate about helping women to raise awareness about online dating and has featured on BBC1’s ‘For Love or Money’ documentary, providing advice and awareness on how to be careful when dating online.
