Chloe McNaughton, 14, has her eyes set on winning the crown in the competition, which is for 13 to 15 year olds.

"Making it to the grand final would be an absolute dream – fingers crossed I will be able to represent my hometown and win the Miss Junior Teen Great Britain crown.”
Organisers of the Miss Great Britain series of events stress it is not a beauty contest. Instead it celebrates the personality and achievements of teenage girls, combining glamour with building confidence, having fun and making friends and memories.
Chloe’s proud mum, Tina McNaughton explained: “Chloe decided to take part in this competition to boost her self confidence. She has also had such an interest in pageants since she was a little girl and now is taking part in her very own one.

Chloe applied online for the contest, submitting several pictures which were judged, before she received a letter to say she was a semi-finalist.
She will now complete the application process, where she will be judged on her answers to a range of questions.
If successful, she’ll make it to the grand final weekend in Blackpool in October. The finals include interviews, photoshoots, team-building activities, a pyjama diva party and a pageant.
There are two other Miss Teen GB contests – one for older teenagers and one for 10 to 12 year olds. Since 2012, the pageants have raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity.
