Contestants must be:
* young women
* at least 18 years of age, and under 28 years of age (at the time of the contest)
* not married nor a parent
* of Irish birth or descent. (You will be asked to explain your Irish background, so you will to clear about it - for example, that your mother's grandmother was born in Co Wicklow, or your father's family comes from Co Sligo.)
You need to contact one of the Societies holding a Regional contest - preferably the one closest to where you live. Remember - if you win their local event, you will be representing that Region at the National Final.
If you're not sure how to contact one of the organising societies, or have a question, or just want to get in touch, fill in and submit the form below.
