For the third year in a row we have a Miss Holland Now of the Year. For the fist time there was a jury who was asked to give their opinion on the girls by giving points: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12 & 15 for their winner. We added all these points and the winner would get 15 points the first runnerup would get 12 etc. There was also an internetpoll. The winner of that would also get 15 points, the same procedure as with the jury. The Poll was dominated by Kimberly Cox, she gained 47%(!), first runner-up was Suraya Baboeram Panday with 29% with Melanie de Laat in third position with 16%. The jury had a difficult job. It was a close finish with eventually two winners Eva van Binsbergen en Melanie de Laat leaving Milou Verhoeks and Suraya Panday both in third place. After adding the two results we learned that Melanie de Laat is our new Miss Holland of the Year 2008/2009 with Eva van Binsbergen coming in a second and Suraya Panday in a third position. | | | | jury | internet | totaal | place | | Melanie de Laat | 15 | 10 | 25 | 1 | | Eva van Binsbergen | 15 | 8 | 23 | 2 | | Suraya Baboeram Panday | 10 | 12 | 22 | 3 | | Milou Verhoeks | 10 | 9 | 19 | 4 | | Kimberly Cox | 3 | 15 | 18 | 5 | | Charlotte Labee | 8 | 5 | 13 | 6 | | Evita Vervuurt | 4 | 7 | 11 | 7 | | Carmen Kool | 6 | 5 | 11 | 7 | | Marijke de Vries | 8 | 2 | 10 | 9 | | Jolanda Adelaar | 5 | 5 | 10 | 9 | | Robin Hamersteen | 2 | 7 | 9 | 11 | | Djamila Melcherts | 1 | 1 | 2 | 12 | Who were the judges?
