The very first Bulgarian edition of the "Miss SPA on the Balkans" concluded in Bulgaria's resort town of Velingrad.
The other Balkan countries are going to select their own Miss SPA while the final contest will be held again in Bulgaria.
RD Partners are the organizers of the event.
The Bulgarian edition's winner is 19-year-old Marina Paunova from Velingrad. She was unanimously selected by the jury among 15 other contenders. Paula Kolnetsova from Plovdiv, already with a modeling career, is the first runner-up while Polina Atanasova is third.
The contest was held at the "Grand Hotel Velingrad" where businessmen and local politicians gathered for the event.
The winner is a first year college student in the Danube town of Svishtov and studies business. Marina told reporters modeling was not her goal, but decided to participate to represent her town, and was pleasantly surprised by her victory.
