New Orleans Competition Begins Search for International Spokesmodel
Planet Beach Pageant Provides Unique Opportunities for Entrepreneurship, Travel and Exposure

NEW ORLEANS—Planet Beach invites women ages 18 and up to participate in the Regional Ms. Planet Beach New Orleans pageant to be held at the Metropolitan located at 310 Howard St. on June 16 at 10:30 p.m. This is the first of many regional competitions held throughout the United States, Canada and Australia to launch the search for the next Planet Beach spokesmodel.

The Ms. Planet Beach competition is an annual, international pageant that provides unique opportunities for young women exhibiting an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for personal self-improvement. Participants will be given the opportunity to work alongside the Planet Beach team on promotions and marketing projects, as well as compete for the title of Ms. Planet Beach International.

The New Orleans Pageant winners will receive a prize of $1,000 and a one-year membership to Planet Beach, as well as an invitation to compete in the International Ms. Planet Beach pageant on November 7, 2008 in New Orleans. Ms. Planet Beach International will receive a $25,000 contract with Planet Beach, the cover of the 2008 Ms. Planet Beach International Calendar, a waived franchise fee of $30,000 and other various prizes and travel opportunities.

“We are especially eager to search for the new face of Planet Beach in our hometown,” says Planet Beach CEO Steve Smith said. “We are looking for a unique and charismatic young woman to promote our contempo spa services internationally.”

The Ms. Planet Beach International pageant serves as one of many Planet Beach Franchising Corporation’s charitable endeavors. A portion of the proceeds from the event support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and in 2007, proceeds were given to support Hurricane Katrina victims through the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity.
