Eight young women will compete for a Miss Manitoba crown this week, but they won't be judged on how good they look strutting down a catwalk in a bathing suit or gown.
To make that point clear, organizers have recruited a blind man to judge the pageant on Thursday evening in Winkler, Man.
Clint Castle, a Winnipeg resident who is on the board of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, told CBC News on Tuesday that he plans to examine traits other than beauty.
Castle said he will judge "the other qualities that are important in any human being, and certainly in these young women — character, intellect, poise, public speaking, creative expression — all of those kinds of things that will really sustain these young women as they move through life.
"Appearance, by itself, does not seem nearly adequate to succeed over the next 40, 50 or 60 years."
