Nursery-age toddlers and primary school girls will be judged on their looks and ¬personality in the pageant. The Mini Miss International competition will see girls ¬modeling outfits in formal, sportswear and fashion ¬categories. Toddlers under five in the “baby beautiful” section will be dressed up in party frocks and carried or walked down the catwalk by their mothers.The contest has been criticized by many welfare campaigners call it as ¬“damaging, harmful and ¬unwelcome.” The children welfare campaigner says that this contest may well have a detrimental effect on the young girls involved and on a wider level it also sends out a dangerous message to other children that appearance is all that matters.The competition is to be held in London in October. A boys’ contest called Little Man International is to be held alongside the girls’ show. Contestants pay up to £100 to enter the -contest, and prizes include a Nintendo Wii ¬games console and shopping vouchers.
