A new competition is giving young women the chance to shine on a national stage.
Miss Norfolk, the local qualifying contest for Miss England, has been launched by event organisers Elise Joy Limited.
The winner will earn a place in the Miss England Grand Final and a shot at the Miss World stage.
Entries for Miss Norfolk 2026 will open soon, inviting contestants from across the county to take part in a contest that promotes "beauty with a purpose".
Millie Suiter, the current Miss Norfolk, is preparing to pass on her crown.
She said: "Being crowned Miss Norfolk has been an incredible experience and one that I will treasure forever.
"The opportunities I have been given, the people I have met and the confidence I have gained have been truly life-changing."
She encouraged others to get involved, saying the competition is about "personal growth, creating lifelong friendships and having a platform to make a difference."
Grace Richardson, Miss England 2025, said: "The launch of Miss Norfolk is incredibly exciting and I would encourage young women across the county to get involved.
"You never know where the journey could take you.
"Miss England changed my life, and it could change yours too."
Angie Beasley, director of Miss England, backed the launch.
Ms Beasley said: "We are looking for young women who are passionate, driven, compassionate, and committed to making a positive difference in their communities.
"I am delighted to see the launch of Miss Norfolk and look forward to welcoming the county's future representatives to the Miss England family."
The competition will include rounds designed to showcase contestants' personalities, achievements and commitment to charity, culminating in the crowning of Miss Norfolk 2026 later this year.
