Miss Earth 2013: Meet Priscilla Martins, Brazil’s Earth Warrior {Video)
After Miss Universe, the world's spotlight is now on Miss Earth 2013 and the 94 lovely warriors from different parts of the world who are in full force to promote environmental awareness and address issues concerning the environment.
Early favorite Miss Brazil Priscilla Martins seems to be making a lot of waves even before the pageant starts.
The 23-year-old Brazilian beauty stands 174 cm with 34.5-24.5-38 measurement. Based on her profile in Miss Earth website, Matins believe that: "We all play a role in the water preservation chain, So don't break it. Water... Water... everywhere, but only if we cooperate!"
Crowned as Miss Earth Brazil 2013 on August 24, 2013, Martins is a law student who works as a professional model on the side. She was crowned by former Miss Earth Brazil 2012 Camilia Brant who plays 4th in last year's competition. First runner-up was Juliete di Pieri. She was crowned Miss Earth Brazil Air 2013. Miss Earth Brazil Water 2013 was Karla Mandrom and Miss Earth Brazil Fire 2013 was Rafaeli Ringenberg.
Miss Earth Brazil
Organized by Look Top Beauty Productions, Miss Terra Brazil is the official preliminary pageant of the international Miss Earth beauty contest. Founded in 2001, Miss Terra Brazil was originally called 'Beleza Brazil' and was organized by Beauty Productions Brazil Ltda. from 2001 - 2007.
From Beleza Brazil to Terra Brazil, the pageant changed its name in 2008, and is currently headed by national director Jose Alonso Dias from Minas Garais. Simone Regis is Brazil's first representative in the first edition of Miss Earth in 2001 and she won the Miss Air crown on October 28, 2001.
In 2003, another Brazilian duplicated the feat of Regis when Priscilla Poleselo Zandoná won the Miss Air crown in the Miss Earth 2003. But the country's big victory came when Priscilla Meirelles won the Miss Earth 2004 title and Larissa Ramos was hailed as Miss Earth 2009.
So far Brazil leads the ranking of most titles since the country joined the prestigious event in 2001.
