Birnie's winning tips 

• Dress in a stylish, elegant and age appropriate manner.
• Wear shoes you can walk in and always feel comfortable in what you are wearing.
• Don't wear too much make-up - it should be natural. I love natural beauty.
• Personality is very important
• you need to have fun and just be yourself on the stage.
• Enjoy every moment. 

Holder has almost 9 years of modelling experience. She has won various competitions such as model of the year, Mr en Mej Jansie, Mej Persoonlikheid and Top 1 Model. She was part of the HmH School of Modelling and Deportment.

Holder's winning tips:

• When walking on stage always look at all the judges as well as the crowd. As nerve-racking as it might be, it is very important to interact with the judges and crowd.
• Spend a few minutes on stage as it give the judges enough time to check for all the points.
• If wearing open shoes or high heels, you need to have a strap as flip flops and the sound of shoes clicking will cost you points. Those from older groups can wear high heels without a strap as long as it fits properly and they can walk in them.
• Bra straps should not show and no underwear should show through your clothing.
• Have fun and smile.
