Contestant: Amanda Antoun Press Interview.
Newspaper Interview Inner Westewrn Courier
Community commitment fires Miss Lebanon entrant Amanda Antoun, of Marrickville, is an entrant in Miss Lebanon Australia competition.
Rashell Habib
AMANDA Antoun’s kind heart, giving soul and bright mind make her the perfect contestant in the Miss Lebanon Pageant.
The pageant has been running since 2000, and has become a national event, with the winner going overseas to compete in the international finals.
The Marrickville woman is studying to be a teacher and was encouraged to enter by her family and friends to widen the cultural understanding of the Lebanese community in Australia.
It is not her first time in the spotlight, having featured in the film The Combination, about the Lebanese community. She also starred in a film called Burn, teaching young Australians about the legal system and crimes that affect society.
‘‘The point of the pageant is that they don’t want someone who is just pretty, but someone who can help the Lebanese community and make a contribution to the wider community,’’ she said. ‘‘I value all the little things that make each and every person unique. My motto is about appreciating the extraordinary in the ordinary.
‘‘I want to be able to show young women out there the potential to succeed is within everyone and you don’t necessarily have to be born within a rich or affluent family to do something of worth.’’
Every second Saturday at Marrickville’s Banana Joes, Miss Antoun will hold a sausage sizzle to raise money for The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and the Westmead Medical Research Foundation.
The pageant opens on March 8 and the finals are on May 1. Visit misslebanon.com.au

Hi all, having conducted a few fundraisers I was determined to come up with something that was different and that would be enjoyable. Something that would allow all us contestants to really work together to raise money for our charities and show eachother support. It was then that i decided to organise a walkathon from Annandale to Bay run a 12km walk/run. It will be a great way to show our fitness and to interact with eachother outside from the pageant world. I am still in the process of organising it and putting it together but It will hopefully take place on sunday the 21st of March. I will keep you all posted on the event and whether or not the location or date will change. I hope everyone can come along and join the fun!

Today, the Inner West Courier, Marrickville's local newpaper was at my house to take some photos and run a story on the Miss Lebanon Pageant. They became interested in the story as they witnessed the great support that the community has given to me and wanted to make the public more aware on who I am and what I aim to achieve in the pageant. It was a great experience and I am happy to be representing a community that is supporting me 100%. I hope to be a role model for all the young people out there who have a dream and want to one day achieve it. Im proving that anything is possible with faith and determination. I look forward to hopefully seeing it in next weeks paper. Watch out for it !
RAMZI RAAD
TBWA\RAAD Middle East
Chairman and CEO
For more than forty years, Ramzi has been a pioneer of the advertising industry in the Middle East and North Africa.
Ramzi graduated from the American University of Beirut and began his advertising career in 1967. During the following 12 years he helped to expand the first Middle East regional agency network, firstly into Kuwait and Bahrain. Then, with the eruption of the Civil War in his native Lebanon, he was the first Lebanese ad man to move to the Gulf where he settled in Dubai in 1975.
In 1982, he moved to Paris and two years later transferred to London. In 1986 he returned to Dubai which has since remained his base of operations.
In 1988, Ramzi was voted President of the UAE Chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA) and during his Presidency, the first Advertising Awards Program in the region was launched (1990). The first meeting for the IAA World Executive Committee in the Middle East was hosted in Dubai, and the Chapter led large delegations to the IAA World Congress in Sydney, Australia (1988) to Advista Arabia in Cairo (1989), and the Asian Advertising Congress in Lahore, Pakistan (1989). He was then named Vice President/Area Director of the International Advertising Association for the Middle East and Africa in 1991.
Ramzi is a Founder of the GCC Advertising Association, the Middle East Research Forum and the Middle East Advertising Agencies Association. He has lectured on Middle East Advertising in London, Zurich, Sydney, Lahore, Cairo, Bahrain, New Delhi and Mexico.
Beyond the field of advertising, Ramzi served as the Middle East Consultant for the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (1988-2000) and the Dubai Press Club which is owned and managed by the Government of Dubai (1999-2000).
Ramzi founded TBWA\RAAD Middle East in September 1999, which quickly entered the Middle East Ad Agencies Top 5 League, with a network of agencies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Riyadh, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Algeria and Morocco. The network he leads also encompasses Ketchum Middle East (PR), and Tequila Middle East (CRM).
In 2009, Ramzi was named on the list of the ‘World’s Most Powerful Arabs’ (Arabian Business magazine)

Contest: Amanda Antoun This Saturday the 13th, Banana Joes in Marrickville (258 Illawarra Road) have allowed me to do a sausage sizzle fundraiser. They have agreed to allow me to do this every second saturday starting at 11am. This week because it is the first week, i will have only the sausages but as the weeks progress I will make cupcakes, lebanese chocolates ( which I will be selling as an individual fundraiser aswell) etc. Through Banana Joes I have meet many potential sponsors in the Marrickville community. I had a graphics designer make me beautiful posters which will be stuck on the window so that customers are aware of who I am and what my aim is. Its going to be a lovely day and the publicity that it will bring for me in the community will be great. |
