The Academy bought the Miss Norfolk franchise to run the official heat for The Miss Great Britain contest in 2010. Kerri was previously the Miss Norwich winner for The Miss Great Britain contest in her early years of modelling and so was perfect to take over the contest. Kerri was previously the Miss Norfolk winner for Miss England who have recently changed their name to Miss Norwich.

She has since then judged these Miss Norwich heats and has changed the name of this contest to Miss Norfolk to cover a wider area for girls to enter in the region and as not to be confused with the Miss Norwich heats for Miss England. The Miss Norfolk final was held this May at the prestigious Sprowston Manor with 40 contestants competing for the title.

There were over £1000 worth of prizes up for grabs in the Miss Norfolk heat - one of the only regional heats to offer a large prize jackpot!

 

Pageant seen on Channel 4 documentry
 
The Miss Norfolk pageant was seen in the Eastern Daily Press, the Evening News, the Mercury, Heart FM and Mad Dog magazine ensuring plenty of publicity for all it's finalists! At the final Channel 4 also filmed a documentary and included the Miss Norfolk pageant in their documentry about finalist Laura Stapley who works as a teen undertaker! The documentry was shown this autumn and featured a lot of the Academy girls.
 

And the winner is...!
 

Congratulations to Louise Daynes, a legal secretary aged 19 from Norwich who walked away as the winner of Miss Norfolk 2010 at the final! Louise won over £1500 worth of prizes including £500 worth of Max Giammello hair salon vouchers and a £500 professional website from Broadland Media Design. Louise will be attending the Miss Great Britain final later this year and we know she will do us proud!

In second place was Emma Elphick from Dereham, and in third place was Danielle Sheehan from Diss. Charlotte Bunting and Zoe Grant also made the top 5! Well done to all the gorgeous girls who competed for the title, every single one was amazing on stage.

Louise has been featured in a full page spread in the Evening News since her win and is pictured here with Kerri and Channel 5 presenter Rob Lamarr.
