Courtney Robinson, producer of the TCI Top Model contest, has announced that a brand new pageant is coming to Providenciales.

The inaugural Miss Body Beautiful TCI Pageant is slated for Saturday, July 28, at the Williams Auditorium.

The Miss Body Beautiful TCI Pageant aims to aspire women to appreciate the beauty of who they are inside out.

“Developing a positive body image and a healthy mental attitude is crucial to a woman’s happiness and wellness,” Robinson said. “Being young, thin and beautiful may not sound like cause for concern, but that ideal can lead many women to be highly dissatisfied with their bodies, something that can bring about unhealthy behaviors.”

“Often when producing the annual TCI Top Model Contest — committee members and myself have been approached by ladies of various sizes and ages looking for an outlet to showcase themselves on the national stage. They, like many, have not had the opportunity to model or enter a pageant before, but were quite inclined to do so, should an event be created with them in mind. Hence, the birth of the Miss Body Beautiful TCI Pageant.”

The pageant is open to ladies 18 years of age and older, with no restriction on height, body shape, marital status or nationality. Past pageant experience is not necessary. All that is required is a positive self-image and the confidence to strut your stuff in front of a live audience.

With “Stronger, Confident, Beautiful” as its motto, the Miss Body Beautiful TCI Pageant Contestants will be judged during four segments — a pre-show interview round, introduction, swimwear and fantasy swimwear. After the fantasy swimwear round, contestants will be invited to answer a question posed by the judges on health, fitness and/or the body beautiful. From there, the judges will decide the winners.
