Later tonight 30 stunning finalists from across regional Australia will compete at the National Final in the 2011 Woman’s Day Miss Country Girl Australia to be held on Sydney Harbour on board the deluxe cruise ship, Bella Vista.

Woman’s Day and Channel Nine’s The Today Show have extended their support for young country women seeking opportunities in the modelling and fashion industry with over 2000 aspiring young models competing in a regional roadshow. The 30 finalists have been selected and will attend this prestigious event with the hope to be transformed from country girl to supermodel and be signed with Scoop Management (a subsidiary of CHIC Management). The winner will also appear on Channel Nine’s The Today Show the following morning and appear in a four-page fashion spread in Woman’s Day.

The cocktail style event will be hosted by Australia’s Next Top Model mentor, Josh Flinn who will present the fresh faces of the 2012 Australian modelling industry to over 300 friends, celebrities and media. The event will start with a fantastic Forever New fashion parade vocally complimented by internationally signed McKenzie Comer. Regional models will then feature in the swimwear parade sponsored by Seafolly Australia followed by a parade in evening gowns.
