The 12 contestants vying for 2009 Miss South Pacific Pageant, will undergo the second round of public judging tonight which will be a night of traditional wear.

Following the first night of public judging in the Sarong/Sulu category, the second round of jugging will include the 12 contestants dressed in their best traditional attire, as well as on stage interview.

Judges will be looking at similar requirements as the “sulu” and “sarong” category taking into account creative adornment, the contestants poise and beauty, elegance, confidence, suitability, and their ability to command public attention.

Results from last night's judging have been locked away after the contestants as well as the independent auditors, witnessed the results being sealed in an envelope.

The contestants will be judged according to six categories, whereby the winner of the 2009 Miss South Pacific Pageant will be crowned on Saturday night.
