Press Release

The Miss Seychelles Islands Executive Committee would like to announce that we have had to re-schedule the Miss Seychelles Islands Beauty Pageant, 2008. The change has been effected because of our participation in the Miss World 2008 contest. The date has now been changed from August 30th to Saturday the 23rd of August, 2008. The change of date is due to limited time of preparation for participation in the upcoming Miss World which will be on Saturday the 4th October 2008 in Kiev, Ukraine. The winner of the MSIBP is expected to join-up with the other beauty queens from all over the world by the 6th September, almost a month before the Miss World contest.

We are also proud to announce that this year, due to many other opportunities, which have come our way after successfully organizing the 2006 and 2007 beauty pageants. And our contribution in organizing successfully the Miss Intercontinental 2007, our organization has been invited and we will send in total 4 participants in 3 different International Beauty Pageant. Miss world, Miss Intercontinental and Miss East Africa. We are hoping to get as much support as possible from government as well as from the private sector to be able to give Seychelles its rightful place in the international field of beauty, in the region and further, which will provide maximum exposure for Seychelles as a tourism destination and to potential investors.

Once again thank you for your support and cooperation.
