Isha Prashar has been selected as one of the 30 finalists for the Kent Beauty Awards
A BEAUTY contestant is appealing for votes in the run-up to a national competition.
Isha Prashar, of Wickham Way, Beckenham, has been selected as one of the 30 finalists for the Kent Beauty Awards held on the Miss England website.
The freelance journalist is hoping to win the title, prizes and a place in the Miss England semi final on June 14.
Miss Prashar, who attended Bromley High School and studied drama and literature at the University of Essex, said: “The competition for me is about showing the best of both sides of the female character.
“You can be a well-rounded intelligent woman who also wants to try on make up and style your hair; one who cares about world issues as well as hanging out with friends.
“I'd like to give a voice to women by representing an ambitious, strong minded, caring female who wants to help fix a lot of injustice in the world.”
The 21-year-old has started a Facebook group to boost her votes before the closing date of May 26.
Miss England contestants are encouraged to raise money for charity.
“Having done a lot of charity work abroad, I think children’s education is an important issue to build upon, as well as domestic violence or unwanted marriage.”
The successful Miss England will be selected for the finals of Miss World which has a first prize of $100,000.
