The
London School of Public Relations Jakarta once again held its annual pageant Mr&Ms LSPR- pageant that seeks bright
representatives of LSPR to be campus ambassadors bearing the good name of LSPR
internally and externally.
This year theme was ‘Sumatra : The Precious Swarna Dwipa’ and Swarna Dwipa itself
refers to the sanskrit term of Island of
Gold.
Aside from the around-3 months
quarantine, 20 finalists that were selected from the audition went through
several activities that this programme provided. Started from A Day
With Finalist when they were
given the opportunity to gain some more learnings through workshops about
Personality Development,
Public Speaking, and Table Manner; Meet
and Greet when they publicly promoted themselves to be the Mr&Ms
Favorite and ask for supports at the coronation night; Photo Session that took place at Taman Mini Indonesia
Indah when they gave their best at the making of their official photo and video
as finalists; Charity Day that took place at Yayasan Sayap Ibu located in
Kebayoran Baru South Jakarta when they happily had a visit and played along
with children with intelectual disabilities there.
Pre-Pageant Day was
also a notable agenda for the finalist since that’s the time when they had to
give their best at showing their talent within minutes and having the
debateable Q&A sessions with judges. Last but not least before the
coronation was Capacity Building when they spent
two days one night long
having classes regarding the informations that they need to know as LSPR
ambasador and also physical trainings.
Night of July the 5th was the
remarkable Coronation Night that
they succeeded bringing the house down by showing the best in everything that has
been taught during the quarantine, from the traditional dance, casual fashion
show, catwalk, and killing it at the
Q&A segments for the big 12 finalist
selected. That night led LSPR to having Benny Satrya Bonardy (batch 16) and
Brenda Pangemanan (batch 15) as the newly selected Mr & Ms LSPR 2013. However with all that the finalist had gone
through, they are all the winners for themselves after all.
