Nov. 13, 2002 – The Virgin Islands Carnival Committee is planning ahead: they're now accepting applications for participation in the Carnival 2003 Prince & Princess Competition.
Boys and girls nine to 12 years of age who have a letter grade average of "C" or better are welcomed to participate. The lower age limit is new, since last year's princess was eight years old.
Application forms are available at the office, which is located on lower Main Street where the V.I. Personnel Division was years ago, in the block west of Market Square.
For the past three years, three would-be princes and princesses have competed for the titles. They have vied for Best Evening Wear, Talent, Mister and Miss Intellect, Most Photogenic, and Most Cooperative. So, none of that complaining about the pea under the mattress.
And now is the time to apply: the deadline for return of applications is Nov. 25, 2002.
For more information call Prince & Princess Committee Chairperson Francisque Roberts at 774-1343.
