Snow Beauty-2018
In Yakutia a girl has long been associated with "as beautiful and pure as snow" concept. The beauty of the girl is expressed not only by her appearance, but also by her temper, words and pure thoughts. The "Snow Beauty of Yakutia" Contest is a source of propaganda and preservation of that very national image of beauty.

Representatives of the following peoples can participate in the competition:
  • Representatives of the Sakha people;
  • Representatives of the Slavic peoples;
  • Representatives of the peoples of the North of Yakutia.
The competition is open to all girls from different municipal districts and cities of the republic aged from 18 to 24 years old and from 165 to 175 cm tall.
The first tests were already waiting for the girls at casting. The casting of the "Snow Beauty of Yakutia" Contest took place on November 11 in the Alexey Kulakovsky House of Friendship of Peoples.
The preparatory stage consisted of two parts. The photogenic test was conducted in the form of photo shoots. Participants showed their ability to hold on to the camera. The girls were wearing uniform T-shirts with the official emblem of the contest.

I see an image of a girl with an attractive appearance, not necessarily super beautiful, but attractive. With a sweet smile. Her main feature is kindness. As the saying goes, "Beauty will save the world!" Also, I think that strength is in simplicity. No clothes make the man, and man clothing!
Telegenicity test. Evaluation criteria: a sense of the camera, the disclosure of a given image, artistry and plastic. At this stage, the contestants in national costumes awarded the winners of the World Mas Wrestling Championship, which was held in Yakutsk.

Which female character from a cartoon or a fairy tale attracts you the most?
I like the image of Belle from the Beauty and the Beast cartoon because she is sincere. She can sacrifice herself for her relatives. Belle fell in love not for appearance, but for inner beauty. I really like this cartoon, I loved watching it with my sister as a child. Together we loved to sing songs from this cartoon.

I like the image of Sarylym Kuo from Olonkho. This image is an example for me. Her beauty, intelligence and modesty are complemented by a strong character.

The image of Alice from the cartoon "Alice in Wonderland" is my favorite. I think her image is magical and unique.

I just adore Jasmine from the cartoon "Aladdin". I can rewatch it forever. Jasmine is so lively, emotional and vibrant. I like her outfit and dark skin.

Probably everyone likes Disney cartoons and I am not an exception. Of course, Cinderella. The story of this character reminds me that you need to believe in fairy tales! Cinderella loves to dream, she is hardworking and sweet. And most importantly, she is happy every day, she knows how to find happiness in the simple!
