"MISS UNIVERSITY" OFFERS BEAUTY AND THE BEACH IN THE BAHAMAS
Model Search & Pageant Retreat a Highlight of
Miss Universe 2009 Festivities on Nassau/Paradise Island

NASSAU, The Bahamas – June 29, 2009 – For the first time in history, The Islands Of The Bahamas will host dozens of international beauties when the Miss Universe Competition comes to Nassau/Paradise Island in August. To equip future generations of aspiring beauty queens and models, young women ages 12 & up are invited to seize their moment in the spotlight with the Miss University: Beauty and the Beach program, a comprehensive three-day pageant retreat – with a twist. This event won’t just feature pageant and modeling instruction. It will also offer coveted access to some of the most influential casting and modeling agents in the world and the chance to win a trip to New York City to meet additional agents, escorted by Miss USA 2005 Chelsea Cooley, president of StandOut Productions.

From August 6-10, 2009, the Miss University program will offer participants sessions on fitness, hair and makeup styling, interview techniques and secrets of modeling. Surrounded by The Bahamas’ pristine turquoise water and white sandy beaches, participants will learn tips to boost confidence, improve stage presence and hone interview skills. Those newly minted skills will be put to the test at the grand finale, where participants will be judged by a panel that includes producers, casting agents for primetime television shows and modeling agency executives. The winner will grace the cover of Supermodels Unlimited magazine.

Space is limited and the Miss University experience is expected to fill quickly. For an early registration of $876*, the Miss University package includes:

• Four nights, five days at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort (double occupancy)
