THE winner of Ardee’s Next Top Model competition is Ciara Berrill from Dundalk.
Ciara beat off strong opposition from 11 other contestants in what was a fantastic event in aid of SOSAD the organisation that helps families and individuals who have been affected by suicide. A large crowd attended the final at Bogger’s Bar Ardee. MC on the night was i105 – i107 Keith Walsh from the Bernard and Keith Breakfast Show i105 – i107.
“All the girls looked stunning,” said Hayley McCarron organiser of the event. “I would like to say a big thank you to our judges and all the businesses and shops who sponsored and donated prizes.
The competition took place over four weeks and each girl had to take part in a number of activities which included a number of photo shoots. Ciara’s prizes included a one-day professional modeling course, portfolio and website. She will be the festival queen at the Turfman Festival on the August bank holiday.
