Who will it be in 2015? Last year’s winner Jasmine Underwood and runner-up Salma Allie, with Mayor Paul Lake and Marie Rutledge – the quest convenor for many years.

Registration is now open for the 2015 Miss Princess Quest.

Girls who aspire to represent their city and experience the atmosphere of Campbelltown’s biggest annual community event are encouraged to enter.

The quest is one of the highlights of the Festival of Fisher’s Ghost, to be held from 6 to 15 November, which showcases the city’s community spirit through a range of events.

Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Lake, said it was Campbelltown’s history and legendary residents that made it unique among the communities of south west Sydney and that the quest, as part of the Festival of Fisher’s Ghost, was steeped in tradition.

“This year is the 60th annual Festival of Fisher’s Ghost and it will be a fantastic opportunity for the girls to be a part of the city’s history and one of the most celebrated community festivals in the region,” Cr Lake said.
