THE quest is on to unmask this year's Port Douglas Carnivale ambassadors.
Organisers of this year’s Miss Carnivale contest are building on the successful format established at this popular event last year, with plans already established to launch this year’s winners at an all out glamour Masquerade Ball at the Rydges Sabaya Resort.

Corrine Durie, who puts together the event, said entrants were already coming forward and sponsors were lining up.
“It looks like being an amazing pageant this year. Last year was such a wonderful community event, and this year everyone knows what its about and we are enjoying tremendous support so we have decided to go all out with a big ticket event which will be a perfect showcase for these young people.”
Guests attending in masquerade will not be overlooked either.
“This gala event will be classy, formal and, in masquerade, it will have just a touch of mystery,” Ms Durrie said.
“For prizes, we have dinners for two at our fabulous local restaurants, trips from local tour companies and a couple of surprises for the best dressed, best couple in masquerade and a few spot prizes!”
Bodies in Motion will present a dance extravaganza, Rydges Sabaya are plating up a superb three course meal created by executive head chef Anthony Kramer, and a guest compere is being lined up to manage the fun on the night.
The Miss Carnivale Masquerade Ball will take place on Saturday, May 15 from 7pm at Rydges Sabaya Grand Ballroom.
