Organisers reject beauty pageant image
Time is running out for women to enter this year's Miss Isle of Man.
Twelve charities - including the ManxSPCA, Craig's Heartstrong Foundation and Hospice IOM - are looking to benefit from the competition.
Closing date for entries is midnight tonight.
Organiser Susan Tummon says they're keen to dispel the idea of it being a beauty contest.
