Event Organiser Alison Campbell said: “The standard of this year’s competition has been extremely high, it’s fantastic to see so many girls putting themselves forward for the role as an ambassador for Northern Ireland.

“The judges at the final will have a difficult job choosing an overall winner, but I look forward to working with whoever it may be!”
