Miss Landmine 2008 Who's Got Your Vote?

It's time to mark your calendar for the most anticipated beauty show yet... It's the Miss Landmine 2008 competition which will take place in Angola in April. The top prize besides the title of Miss Landmine, is a golden prosthetic limb.

The project, created by Norwegian theater director Morten Traavik, is designed to raise awareness of the plight of landmine survivors. Contestants will have to demonstrate their skills and take part in an interview, though the details have yet to be finalized.
"There is no sensationalistic intentions within Miss Landmine," Traavik said. "Of course the format has been chosen because it's obviously a very media friendly forum, but it still is based very, very much on local culture, since beauty pageants are such a consistent phenomenon in Angolan contemporary culture."
