Relations between the organiser of a teen beauty pageant and the winner have turned ugly after a row about prizes.
Fifteen-year-old Jana Hurst of Rodney, north of Auckland, expected a designer bag and necklace after taking the Miss Teen Christchurch crown in April. She was invited to compete by organiser Barbara Osborne, who approached her through online talent directory Star Now.
Jana's family paid the $250 entry fee and say they spent thousands of dollars on flights, accommodation and other expenses during their five-day stay in Christchurch.
She won, but instead of the Louis Vuitton bag and black pearl necklace she was expecting, she was presented with a Farmer's makeup kit still bearing the $39.95 price tag.
Osborne also supplied comments written by Jana on Star Now which says the competition was "amazing".
