Miss Penticton Candidate Galleries

This year, 7 young women are participating in the 76th annual Miss Penticton Program. Each candidate is sponsored by a local business or non-profit organization. The girls learn a wide range of skills including public speaking, excellence in customer service, and tourism promotion. They also study the history of Penticton, time and money management, organization skills, teamwork skills, modelling, etiquette and strengthening self esteem. The Royalty become the ambassadors for Penticton at many out-of-town events, encouraging people to come and visit.

As part of the program, each candidate has a full portrait session with Stuart Bish, beginning with a planning session to determine clothing, hair, location and many other details. The candidates always enjoy their portrait session, and the beautiful portraits created are exhibited throughout the community to help raise awareness of the Miss Penticton program and Peach Festival. The framed wall portraits become a gift to the girls from their sponsors and Stuart Bish Photography, in appreciation for their effort and time committed to helping promote the community.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Miss Penticton program was paused in 2020 and 2021, but is resuming in 2022. Our 2019 Miss Penticton Amrit Dhaliwal and Princess Ann Hughes were able to continue fulfilling local appearances for the 2020 and 2021 periods, earning a three year designation as Penticton’s Royalty. Previous years saw the Penticton Royalty travel throughout BC and the Pacific Northwest promoting our city, Peach Festival and locally supporting causes and events. In the past, cities visited included Summerland, Peachland, Kelowna, Armstrong, Vernon, Calgary, Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Portland, New Westminster, Cranbrook, Castlegar, Trail and White Rock.
