Daniel,
Yes it is a pageant looking for inner beauty. Yes it is a glamorous event in the sense that it will be a spectacular gala dinner/dance at the Grand Hyatt Dubai.
Yes we are looking for sponsors for prizes for the winner and runners up. Sponsors to provide gifts that most ladies would like to receive. Also prizes for raffles and the auction board.
Like any special occasion ladies like to look their best so yes we need sponsors in those fields to help out. Unfortunately some people, newspapers and face book have misconstrued this event. But we know what we are doing does have a very serious side to it and is for a worthy cause and that's what matters at the end of the day.
We are also pleased to say that most people do support what we are trying to do.

Firstly Miss AVA IS NOT a BEAUTY pageant looking for beautiful women. It is a pageant to find a woman, not a MODEL. Size and looks have nothing to do with it. We are looking for someone who has an inner beauty and passion for the cause. This event will have many forms of fund raising.
I don't think selling lemonade would contribute much to the overall scheme. How can you compare a black tie gala dinner to a yard sale? Especially in 120 degrees heat. I have never seen the PETA manual so have no idea what you are referring to.
At least we have chosen a route that seems to have a better response from the public so far.
We don't think you get it.

I am Sarita and Miss AVA Dubai is our me and my sister Janice's initiative to improve the way that animals are looked after, treated, abandonned and abused in our country and everywhere. The idea of a pageant (including a search for a vocalist) to perform at this gala dinner/dance at the Grand Hyatt Dubai is our approach to attract public support. As much as we read article after article about animal welfare we do not see much active support. The Miss AVA concept will elect an ambassador who will represent and spearhead action in our municipality to educate and provide guidance to all pet owners, pet suppliers, and the general public. To reitterate normal media articles do not appear to get this message across to everyone. Our Miss AVA idea is to kindle interest in animal welfare not only pet owners but also the general public by creating a gala event that will be exciting and entertaining to all. We have only the welfare of animals in our hearts in this initiative. The inspiration behind all of this is our most recent addition to our doggy family, Ringo a puppy born without eyes abandonned, and found locked in a cage in the scorching heat. She joins 6 brothers and sisters all rescue dogs. This event is a fund raiser in support of local animal societies and we hope that we will receive tremendous support from all. We are two animal loving ladies organising this with only love and no money and we will rely on positive support, sponsorship and contributions from all that share our passion. For further information on this event or if you would like to be kept updated feel free to contact me on my email sarphilly@hotmail.com
