On Sunday 30 January the Pancretan Beauty Contest for the Miss Crete 2005 will take place at Vanilla live in Heraklion.
The evening will be presented by Star Hellas 2004 Valia Kakouti while the TV coverage will be provided by Crete Tv.
Since 2004, the exclusive rights to perform and organize the Pancretan Pageant have been held by the production company "Cretanart Productions" of George G. Asariotakis, which with new ideas and experienced partners has contributed to the great upgrading of the institution, so that it is characterized by many as the leading beauty contest in our country.
The official name of the Pancretan Pageant is the Pancretan Beauty Contest "Miss Crete & Miss Crete Young" and is held every year in collaboration with the Panhellenic Pageant and Vassilis Prevelakis. It is a television production with impressive sets and effects, involving famous presenters, popular artists and glamorous personalities from the world of entertainment and lifestyle.
Single girls aged 16 to 26 years old with Cretan origin are eligible to participate. Under certain conditions, girls who do not come from Crete can participate, but they must have lived in Crete for at least the last two years and have Greek citizenship.
In addition to the high visibility and valuable experience that the competition offers today, the finalists selected each year to participate follow a month-long preparation process to acquire basic knowledge, principles and professional behaviour, which are essential for their future professional careers.
Four titles (Miss Crete - 1st runner-up Miss Crete - 2nd runner-up Miss Crete - Miss Crete Young), rich prizes, participation in international beauty contests and professional contracts of cooperation are claimed every year by the finalists of the final, but the most important gain is the experience they live during the whole process.
The purpose of the Pancretan Beauty Contest is to promote Cretan female beauty all over the world!
