Kia Orana. What a wonderful 2009 pageant we all enjoyed - a real "NIGHT TO REMEMBER". Stunning performances by all our contestants to a full audience. Delights, gasps of amazement and cheers all round to all our lovely girls - you made us all very proud indeed to bring this event together. Who's the winner? And why not on the start page of the web? Just to keep the excitement going! If you want to see our winner then pop over to the current title holder page!!!
Our generally bi-annual event focuses on the development of our young women. Our widely spread country comprises 15 islands spread over 850,000 square miles (2.2 million square kilometres) of ocean in the middle of the South Pacific. We lie in the centre of the Polynesian Triangle, flanked to the west by the Kingdom of Tonga and the Samoas and to the east by Tahiti and the islands of French Polynesia.
Our nation consists of two main groups, one in the north and one in the south. The southern group is nine "high" islands mainly of volcanic origin although some are virtually atolls. The majority of the population lives in the southern group. The northern group comprises six true atolls.
The islands are rich in artistic culture and this is taken very seriously. You can expect in the show some excellent performances in dance, music and creative ability. We are proud of this culture and the Pageant is pleased to enhance and develop our girls in order that they may take this onwards into future generations and the world at large.
Each island has its own special dances and the highly recognisable rhythmic drumming on the paté and movements. We hope this year to have a number of contestants from the outer islands as well as Rarotonga able to perform and delight the judges and audience alike. Like dance each island also has its own characteristic music and song and competition between the girls will be a delight to the ear.
Local crafts using local materials will also feature in one form or another - particularly amongst the dress, style and appearance of our young ladies before and during the pageant.
To say we are proud of our people and our country would be an understatement. We are, and we are proud to share it with the world. Our current title holders, and past titleholders, can be seen Miss Cook Islands winners 2009 and previous
