Young women to spread positivity

GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - The radio station, Eden FM, is currently holding a superb competition opportunity for young women.

Organiser, Berenice Kogana Paulson, who is an Eden FM presenter, says: "The Miss Eden FM competition is not about a girl with a beautiful face, but a girl with a voice. We are searching for a voice for our youth."

Entries closed on Friday, 8 April, and the 12 semi-finalists have been chosen. Young women from towns including Mossel Bay, Knysna, Little Brak, Albertinia and George are among the 12.

The competition is for 16 to 21 year olds.

Berenice says it is planned to make the competition an annual event, so those who did not enter can give it their best shot next year.

On 2 May, in George, the semi-finalists have their first workshop and they will receive their sashes. The workshop entails training in skills such as public speaking, building self confidence and marketing.
