The Miss Suffolk 2010 competition for Miss Great Britain was organised by Kerri and the Academy team, with ten finalists competiting for the title on Thursday 8th July at the Hotel Victoria in Lowestoft. The girls spent the day rehearsing for the pageant, and also took part in a group photoshoot for the Daily Star on the beach before the doors opened at 7pm.

100 guests came along to watch the competition, which was split into an opening clubwear round,a swimsuit round, and an evening wear round where the girls were also interviewed by Kerri on stage about their careers and hobbies as well.

The 5 judges (detailed below) had a very tough decision, and in the end chose Rebecca Johnson from Bury St Edmunds as their winner! It was very close with just one point between first and second place, which went to Bhavana Suri, and in third place was Amber Whelan. Charlotte Bunting and Jamie Winyard came joint forth place in the competition.

A big thank you goes to Adrian at Soundwaves Entertainment who helped organise the DJ, lighting, venue, flowers and much more! The Hotel Victoria for letting us use their venue, and to Fitness First in Ipswich and Gorleston golf club for supplying prizes.

Judges included the Academy manager Kathleen Rob Colman (Daily Star photographer) Adrian Dewey (author and photographer) Matthew Schader from Thundersport GB racing series, and Talitha Minnis Model of the Year 2009 winner!
