ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – A Kurdish woman from Sulaimani is Iraq’s candidate for the 2016 Miss Earth Pageant.
“I have been selected by the Iraqi Beauty Pageant Organization for the 2016 Miss Earth Pageant,” Susan Noori told Rudaw.
Ms Noori, aged 21, is a junior student at Mansour University in Baghdad, studying software engineering.
She was previously runner-up to Miss Iraq, and was crowned Miss Mesopotamia last year by the Iraqi Beauty Pageant Organization.
The Miss Earth Pageant is an annual international event held on 29 October in Manila, Philippines, hosting 90 delegates from around the world.
The competition aims to promote environmental awareness.
It is the first time Iraq is taking part in this event, and it is the first time a Kurdish woman is selected for this crown.
