An event called ACS Kings and Queens is taking place on Sunday 20th June. Founded by six male students in the academic year of 2008/2009, the annual event seeks to crown one male and one female King and Queen of all the university African & Caribbean Societies in the country.
There are 16 hopefuls in total – 8 Kings and 8 Queens representing eight universities. Each hopeful will have their fashion and beauty sense put to the test by five distinctive rounds: Evening wear, Fashion Designer, Public vote, Interaction and Traditional wear. Each round is a chance for each nominee to show why they should come top of the inter-University Beauty and Fashion show.
This year the founders have moved the competition up a level from the founding year.
There are several prizes up for grabs including a holiday, top fashion vouchers, cosmetics, Flight to New York, priceless fashion industry experience, spa treatments and much more. However, the ultimate prize will be the crowning of the ACS King and Queen for the academic year 2009/2010 as well as winning a cash prize for the winners’ university.
Every year the organisers align themselves with one charity that is close to the African and Caribbean community’s heart. Last year it was the African Caribbean Lukaemia Trust. This year the chosen charity is the Sickle Cell Society. The event will aim to raise awareness about the disorder and its effects within the African and Caribbean Community.
Amongst the nominated finalists the following universities are being represented: University of Bedfordshire, University College Birmingham, Brunel University, University of Hertfordshire, University of Kent, University of Kingston, University of Roehampton and London Southbank University.
The event starts at doors open at 6.30pm. The show starts at 7.30pm – prompt at Oceans Music Arena, 270 Mare Street, E8
