Camel Beauty Contest

(Abu Dhabi, UAE) The Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) has announced the annual Mazayina Dhafra Camel Festival will run from December 16 until 25 and include a camel beauty contest.

Majahim or dark-skinned local camels will vie for the black beauty award, along with participating in a race comprising more than forty laps and a contest for the top purebred camel or Asayel in the country.

Mazayina Dhafra Festival Beauty Contestants

To enrol, each contestant is required to enter 50 camels, with the grand first prize of Dh1 million [about $272,000].

We do reckon the winning camel would be humped that its meals for the next one year at least is taken care of.

I'm ill-prepared to judge the camels but I'd suggest that last sentence is a beauty.
