Miss Teen Australia 2008

Miss Teen Australia 2008 MISS TEEN AUSTRALIA NATIONAL FINALISTS BONDI BEACH

17 Australian beauties from across the country will launch the 2008 national final, greeted by Bondi Surf Life Savers to help promote sun smart and safe swimming.

"We're looking for a role model not a super model."

Reflecting class, beauty, intelligence, grace and benevolence, Director of Adpro Management Group, and Marketing and Sponsorship Director of Miss Teen Australia, Grant Dwyer, has coined the phrase to portray a young woman who represents the quintessential role of Miss Teen Australia.

Thriving in its fifth consecutive year, Miss Teen Australia is the embodiment of today's healthy, attractive, and driven young woman, who also epitomises a philanthropic nature through charity-focussed fundraising, in particular, Barnardos Children's Charity.

Responsible for the likes of former Miss Teen Australia winners from 2004 to 2006 - Lauryn Eagle, Kyra Roberton and Ashleigh Seymour, respectively, Grant has taken a holistic approach to nurturing and cultivating the aesthetic, emotional and altruistic development of ambitious young Australian women.

As proposed by Mr Dwyer, Miss Teen Australia is living up to its mantra's expectations - attracting today's new breed of young Australian women who realise the potential opportunities for career development as well as personal growth and achievements that can stem from this competition.

Rather than focussing purely on the aesthetic aspect of the event, the competition spotlights the overall package of qualities, taking a holistic approach, which constitutes a positive role model and productive member of the community.
