\n “Entering Miss Hampshire is my way of honouring that dream and finally taking my place in a system I\u2019ve always deeply admired.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Cerys will now go on to represent Hampshire in the final of Miss Great Britain 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n Regional director Aryana Neo said: “I am delighted with how my first regional finals went, and I have had some incredible feedback from the event and the finalists.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I am so proud of each and every one of them as they each have grown in confidence and developed themselves over the past few months.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I am so excited to work with Cerys to prepare her for the 80th anniversary of Miss Great Britain this October.”\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Cerys is set to receive many prizes for winning the competition, including entry to the Miss Great Britain finals with accommodation for two nights in Leicester, a sash and a crown, pageant coaching, a luxury afternoon tea, and more.\n<\/p>\n
