The final will take place on December 12th. Avalon will take the crown from her two predecessors, Deniz Akkoyun, Miss Nederland 2008 and Leonie Tuip, Miss World Netherlands 2008. Leoni took the crown just last month as the original winner, Carmen Kool was dethroned because she posed nude for Playboy magazine during her reign. So for the first time since 1988/1989 one girl will represent Holland at the two most prestigious beauty pageants in the World.
