Tickets are on sale now and the best seats will be those closest to the action as the final twenty five contestants demonstrate their skills and abilities.

This year each of the contestants must keep a personal blog. In fact they are graded 10% of their final score on the quality of their web journal. And that’s because social networking is breathing new life into the beauty pageant.

Now the pageant director actually depends upon the reigning champion to be able to manage her share of the expanding MTCW social net. Its not a one sided relationship anymore; now they are partners who go to work promoting events and sponsors together.

Katie Starke keeps a blog right on the Miss Teen Canada World website.

And all the contestants are now blogging on the Sugar blog network.

Here are some of the contestant blogs,

The Search for Miss Teen Canada has become more than a beauty pageant; now it’s a real quest for an new internet celebrity to represent our nation in Houston Texas at the Miss Teen World competition in August.

The four MTC-W judges, Elmer Olsen, Lorraine Zander,  John Eltom and Clarence Ford have been asked to award high scores to smart girls with great personalities. So believe it or not, a girl’s physical appearance is actually not that important anymore. Now the succesful candidate must indeed be a leader, and be able to take command of a powerful blog army.
