Miss Merthyr Tydfil Makes TV
One of the Miss Wales 2010 regional qualifiers – Miss Merthyr Tydfil - was the subject of a BBC documentary this month as part of the Planet Wales series.
The programme followed the competition and a number of the contestants and also talked to ladies who had won beauty pageants in the town back in the 1950s and 1960s.
Paula Abbandonato, Miss Wales organiser, said: “I’d like to congratulate all our Miss Merthyr Tydfil 2010 finalists for taking part in the programme. They came across as interesting, ambitious young women who want to make a difference and have fun, which is exactly what the Miss Wales experience is all about.
“We’ve had terrific feedback from all corners of the country since the programme was broadcast and would like to thank the programme makers for the story they helped us tell.”

A win for Miss Wales
The Miss Wales competition has been named the ‘best
event’ in Wales in 2009 by the Chartered Institute of
Public Relations.
The Vibe team – organisers of Miss Wales – took
the accolade at the CIPR Pride Awards - the most prestigious
occasion in the Welsh PR calendar.
Paula Abbandonato, of Vibe, said: "The Miss Wales competition
is our pride and joy. We put an incredible amount of effort
into the contest and have been overwhelmed by the support
we receive every year from the contestants, their families
and the media.
"To be recognised as the best event in the country is
an incredible achievement and pays testimony to all the wonderful
women we meet along the way."
This year, the Miss Wales competition raised £120,000
for its chosen charity – The
Joshua Foundation – which gives life experiences
to children with cancer.
Paula added: "The pressure is now on to continue to
make the Miss Wales event a fantastic experience for all involved.
I have no doubt that it will continue to go from strength
to strength."
