She's already been crowned Miss West Sussex – now Roxanne Hotchkiss needs your help to take the Miss England title.
The dance and performing arts student is among 51 regional finalists bidding to be crowned winner at the grand final at The Troxy in London on July 18.
The lucky lady who takes the Miss England title will then contest Miss World in the Ukraine on October 4.
The Observer teamed up with Fontwell Park Racecourse in March to help promote the Miss West Sussex competition.
A beauty pageant was held at the raceourse at the beginning of May, when a panel of judges including best-selling author Jilly Cooper, three-time champion jockey Richard Dunwoody and actress Honeysuckle Weeks picked Roxanne from a parade of 18 stunning ladies.
Since then, Roxanne has split her time between studies at the prestigious Urdang Academy in central London and a string of charity events and photoshoots.
The 22-year-old said: "I've had so much to do, but it really has been great fun.
"I've done photoshoots for Hello magazine, and lads' magazines Nuts and Zoo. It's all a bit crazy but I've enjoyed it. I've also had exams so the past few weeks have been very hectic.
"But now I'm really looking forward to the Miss England competition in London and it would be great if people could help by voting for me."
Among her prizes for winning Miss West Sussex was the chance to have a dress created by UK bridal designer of the year Ian Stuart and Proposals in Chichester.
The finishing touches are still being put to the dress, but she has opted for a bright red creation which she'll be wearing for the Miss England finals.
