Miss Supranational 2009 Finals in Plock, Poland

Poland is hosting the very first Miss Supranational 2009 with the world finals happening tomorrow, September 5, in the city of Plock.

Thirty-six candidates will vie for the title of Miss Supranational 2009 and will receive a cash prize of $25,000.

First runner up will get $5,000, 2nd Runner Up wins $3,000, $2,000 for the 3rd Runner Up and a thousand US dollar for the 4th Runner Up.

The Top 5 will also get jewelries worth over $10,000.

Other titles to be given away are the 5 continental titles (with a cash prize of $1,000) and special titles (with $500 each) such as Miss Supranational Internet, Miss Photogenic, Best Body, Best National Dress and Miss Friendship.
