MATUKIO @ MICHUZI BLOG: Miss Tanzania 2013 Happiness Watimanya at the Miss World in London

By Ayoub Mzee –London

Miss Tanzania 2013 Happiness Watimanya is in town in time for the festive season where she will experience the famous Christmas spirit that can be found in England's capital city. For a little over three weeks, she and the other contestants will experience the wonder of England's vibrant multicultural metropolis as she takes part in the Miss World Challenge Events and prepare herself for the Big Final!

The events start from 20th November, culminating in the Grand Final on 14th December. She is in high spirits and for the first time Tanzania has a big chance of becoming one of the big three. Tanzanians and friends of Tanzania, there is so much you can do to help her out:

So how does it work?

Simply download the Miss World App, and you will find you have three slots available for your vote. Once you have decided who your top three are, you can lock in your vote and voila!, you have helped your favorite contestants on their way to being the People’s Choice Award Winner! The winner of the People’s Choice Award is announced during the latter stages of the Miss World Final, and the winner, if she is not already selected, will join the final few contestants on stage. These contestants will then face the judges questions before the winner of Miss World 2014 is announced!

How many votes do I get?

This year, you will be allowed one set of three votes, with a bonus set of three votes if you choose to subscribe to the app, which also includes the full Miss World TV coverage of the competition. The most votes any one contestant can receive from an individual is 2 votes. Each set of votes must be for 3 different contestants.

I can’t find the voting page on the App,

am I doing something wrong?

Voting begins on the 20th of November. Until then you will not be able to vote for your favourite contestant. This is to ensure no votes are lost if a contestant has to pull out at the last minute!

I haven’t decided yet who my 3rd favourite is,

when do I have to submit my vote?

Don’t worry! You have plenty of time to decide. The app will hold onto your choices until you make your final submission. Voting closes one hour after the start of the Miss World Final Show. Once you have submitted your votes, there is no going back, so make sure you vote right! The time is now to support Tanzania's beauty at the world stage.
