Miss Isle of Man entries close tonight

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.
