The final for Queen Benelux will be may 14th 2010 in Carré in Willebroek.
The final for the Queen of the Benelux will take place in october 2010.

First of all the best wishes for 2010. What did 2009 bring us and what will 2010 bring us? 2009 was a great year for the dutch beauty pageants and for www.misshollandnow.com . For the first time in years the Netherlands was represented at all major pageants. It was for the first time since 1988/1989 that one girl went to the two most prestigious pageants in the world: the Miss Universe pageant and the Miss World pageant. It was Avalon-Chanel Weyzig who had that honour. She was first crowned as Miss Universe Netherlands 2009 and was later appointed Miss Nederland 2009. This all could happen as Kim Kötter took over the franchise of the Miss Nederland pageant from Hans Konings. In 2010 there will be a new Miss Nederland pageant. Miss Kötter will also be responsible for the Miss Netherlands at the Miss Europe pageant. She was rewarded by Missosology as the best national director for the Miss Universe pageant.
Since 2002 there was no Miss Netherlands at the Miss International pageant, so we were also very happy to see that Katia Maes, who has been sending dutch girls to several big pageants, as the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant and the Miss Intercontinental pageant, did send the lovely Roline Hund to this major pageant. We know that there will also be a dutch girl in the 2010 Miss International pageant.
So, in 2010 the Netherlands will be at all pageants and we will keep you updated on all the girls and pageants. We will be there!!
In the next months we will show you with all new pictures our own Miss Holland Now 2009/2010, the beautiful Inger de Jonge, who was our Queen of the Netherlands at the Queen of the World 2009 pageant. We also have contacted some lovely and very interesting women for our Miss Holland Now of the Month. We will start with that in february. We also will be updating our history pages.
So stay tuned for a great year, hopefully with some semi finalists or maybe even a winner!(?)
