The finals of Miss Earth NI and Face of the World NI lie ahead for young Fermanagh woman Seana O’Connor.

An exciting summer awaits the 20-year-old from Enniskillen who has been selected once again this year to participate in the Miss Earth NI Final 2016.

Having been in last year’s final, she pointed out that other sections within this pageant are Earth, Fire, Water and Air, as well as other small categories.

The upcoming event will be held at the City Hotel in Londonderry in July. 
In the period leading up to the final, Seana (who held the Miss Earth Fermanagh title for the year) will do photo shoots, meet the other girls, do team bonding, charity work and presentation skills. 

The winner goes on to the Miss Earth Final, an event where the flag for Fermanagh has been flown in the past. 

It was only recently that Seana learned through her involvement in this year’s Miss Earth NI that she had been selected as a top contestant for Face of the World NI. The winner goes forward for the Face of the World International Final. The Northern Ireland selection will be held on the same night as the final of the Miss Earth NI, but is a separate event. 

Seana, a former pupil of St. Fanchea’s College, enjoyed her involvement in last year’s Miss Earth NI and said she “enjoyed meeting the other girls taking part.” 

She added: “I am still good friends with girls from last year.” And even if you don’t win, she feels it gives a good confidence boost.

She said she cannot wait to go forward to this year’s final of Miss Earth NI, which Seana explains is promoted and sponsored by the Richmond Centre in Londonderry.

“I am delighted to be part of it,” commented Seana, who highlighted that among its focuses are the environment and a lot of charity work.

Very appreciative of people’s support, she admits being excited about this year’s event and says she has already bought her dress for the final, when she will be joined on the night by family and friends.

The young woman, who works in Superdrug Enniskillen as a sales adviser and beauty consultant, enjoys socialising and she likes keeping fit.
