On the 7th of October there was held the 5th International children's festival "Little Miss World® 2005".
In our city it is autumn in full swing already, while on the azure coast of Antalya the warm sun is still reigning. In a cosy French restaurant of the 5 star hotel RIXOS KEMER little candidates for the main crown of the world have gathered for their first party of acquaintances. This party is one of many kind traditions of the festival , when the young ladies exchange souvenirs and get to know each other better. This fairy-tale-like show has become a symbol of friendship and unity.
This year has been rich for pleasant innovations, for example, Ball of Princesses, which each girl attended wearing her beautiful ball dress with a country sash. And to make this ball real, all the participants received a title Little Miss and their first crowns (the main golden crown remained an intrigue till the very final gala show.) Besides, the participants themselves chose a girl deserving to bear the honorable title "Little Miss Congeniality" - it was Kyunnei Kardashevskaya, the delegate from Yakutia.
The second title "Little Miss Sport" was given at the end of the sports day. During which the participants did some yoga, aqua aerobics, gymnastics and volley-ball. The most sportslike , according to the opinion of the instructors, turned out to be the delegate from Bulgaria Irena Petrova.
The show of National costumes this year was for the first time held several days prior the gala show itself. This evening was the brightest and the most remarkable, because the delegates came to the festival from all the world: Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Moldova, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and South Africa.
The next day the girls gave their first interview to the jury members, and the gala show demanded from the jury to evaluate three more appearances of the girls on the stage: in ball gowns, the talent show and defile in designer costumes "Butterflies". Of course, all the little Misses worried, but coped with the task with dignity. Each of them received presents, new impressions and , surely, a lot of friends from different corners of the world. And the titles were distributed in the following way:
Little Miss World 2005 - Valeria Yashechkina, 9 years old, Russia - she received a sash, a diploma, an exclusively made golden crown by "Jewel Service", an exclusively made porcelain statue from "Jewel Service", a golden ring from "Jewel Service", a golden pendant from "Jewel Service", a doll and cosmetics from TEZ TOUR as well as issues of magazines "Little Miss" and "Cosmolady" Mini Miss World 2005 - Kyunnei Kardashevskaya, 8 years old, Yakutia - she received a sash, a crown, a diploma, a golden ring from "Jewel Service", an exclusively made porcelain statue from "Jewel Service", a golden pendant from "Jewel Service", a doll and cosmetics from TEZ TOUR as well as issues of magazines "Little Miss" and "Cosmolady" Teen Miss World 2005 - Ivanna Lupu, 12 years old, Ukraine - she received a sash, a crown, a diploma, a golden ring from "Jewel Service", an exclusively made porcelain statue from "Jewel Service", a golden pendant from "Jewel Service", a doll and cosmetics from TEZ TOUR as well as issues of magazines "Little Miss" and "Cosmolady"

Representatives from sponsors singled out those girls who they liked best, thus Victoriya Bylina, who presented all-Ukrainian ladies' magazine "Cosmolady", gave a special prize to Victoria Farynyak from Crimea. Yulia Lipatova, representative of trade and producing enterprise "Jewel Service", chose Ivanna Lupu from Ukraine to be "Pearl of Jewel Service" and prepared a special present for her, too.
Conducting the festival under the azure sky of Antalya has already become a good tradition. At the acquaintance party 26 young contestants gathered in the French restaurant of AMARA WING HOTEL in order to exchange memorable souvenirs and to get to know each other closer. All of them have come here from different countries and spoke different languages! But they were not just ordinary girls, but titled persons, and "Little Miss World® 2006" festival was not a first pageant for them, although the most important for them. The organizers and partners of the festival presented the little delegates with gifts, and already these Turkish belts with coins started to jingle gently, there were silver badges with the logo glittering on the tops, and behind the girls' backs there were smart and bright rucksacks.
The little ladies learned more about one another the next day, when the bright National costumes show was appointed to be conducted. National costumes may tell a lot about that remote place from where each delegate arrived. The language of Ukrainian poppies is in the wreaths; a silk Chinese kimono is of the scarlet color; the exact copy of the outfit of tsarina Tamara was on the delegate from Georgia; weird hand made houses and huts together with landscapes of Siberia were showing on a fluffy skirt of the delegate from this remote and cold part of the world; antique accessories - head gear, ancient scissors attached to the belt and necklace of a bride - such a costume was presented by the Albanian delegate. Each costume was a real masterpiece, for sure it was difficult for the jury to choose the best one!
Talent show is a very important stage of the festival, where the girls demonstrate their skills. This day was preceded by long days of rehearsals and preparations in order to impress the experienced jury members, parents and rivals. The Dance of the Fire, a gymnastic etude, three talent shows of ballet, belly dancing - could not be counted!.. Talent show is the most interesting and spectacular part of the festival which always gathers a lot of guests.
The interview stage sounds simply, but the contestants really worried while answering the questions of the jury. Because from these answers the mosaic of impressions about each of them was made in order to choose the one deserving to wear the title of Little Miss World.
The sun had already hidden behind the mountains when the audience started to gather in the amphitheatre. It was time for the final part of the festival - the grandiose Gala night!...

… Every girl since early childhood dreams to turn from a Cinderella into a princess and find herself at a ball in a palace… The Organization committee of “Little Miss World” helped to realize this dream: on the 2nd of October in the main marble glamorous hall of AMARA DOLCE VITA the guests and judges gathered together wearing tuxedos and evening gowns. After receiving the crowns from the President of the festival Mrs Natalya Kovalyova each delegate became a princess. At the end of the ball a young guest from London Dasha Kirilishina sang an opera aria with a voice of an angel. For tenderness and gracefulness, for the beauty and evenness of movement the international jury acknowledged Anastasia Snurnitsina from the Crimea to be the best in her ball dress. Anastasia was awarded by Mrs France 2006, the judge from France and President of the contest “Little Miss France” Mrs Rejane Klein-Maurer.
As it is known to many people, the most crucial criterion in assessment of the delegates is their talent show. For this a whole day was devoted to the talent presentations of the girls. Of course it became the brightest one. The jury was gladdened with the high level of performance, variety of genres and original ideas of each performance. 16 of the shows were selected to be included into the Gala show. The ability to display her inner world, demonstrate her personality and knowledge of the culture, geography and history of her own country is not less important than talent show presentation. To see this all the judges gathered in the conference hall of the hotel in order to talk to each participant, to receive her presents and to give theirs. On completing the interview voting by show the judges chose the girl who best of all coped with such a difficult task, it was Isabela Mocellin from Brazil.
