THE competition to find Hinckley Carnival Queen 2008 will be held at a special gala evening in May.

It will take place at the town's LE10 nightclub on Wednesday 7th May, starting at 8pm.

Once again the competition will be organised by Pubwatch, in conjunction with the Carnival Committee, and the Queen and her attendants will take pride of place at the head of the procession on Carnival Day.

The main prize will be a studio photo session for the carnival queen and her friends, sponsored and donated by Artography, who will be responsible for all official photography at this year’s carnival queen event. (More information is available from www.artography.uk.com).

The Queen will also win a manicure, facial and make-up by Malvina’s Beauty and a VIP day out and photo session at the Marston Stadium.

Gowns for the Queen and her attendants are being provided free of charge by Shareet Dress Hire.

One of the judges for this year’s event will be Elaine Reymes–Cole, who was Hinckley’s first-ever postwar carnival queen when it became an annual event in 1961.
