Filipino-American artist JEFR\u00cb<\/strong> has been commissioned to design the crown for America\u2019s Miss World 2017. The artist will also judge the preliminary and final rounds of the pageant.<\/p>\n

The 66th Annual America\u2019s Miss World will be held at the Linda Chaplin Theatre in Orlando, Florida, and will showcase twenty-eight lucky hopefuls. America’s Miss World 2016 winner, Audra Mari of North Dakota, will be on hand to crown this year\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n

The design for this year\u2019s crown seeks inspiration from the pageant\u2019s motto, \u201cBeauty with a Purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a public artist who creates work around the world, it is always important for me to create works of art that have meaning and purpose\u201d, shares JEFR\u00cb. \u201cI\u2019ve always had an interest in maps and globes, how they are deconstructed and created. The crown will represent and celebrate different races, cultures, and views. It will become a symbol of global unity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"JEFR\u00cb\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sentiment shared by event director, Elizabeth Safrit. \u201cWe wanted to create a crown that was more than just a piece of metal and some stones. We wanted to tell a story and represent the global presence of the Miss World Brand. We brought on JEFR\u00cb because as a global leader in the art world, he understood our vision for what we want to represent.\u201d<\/p>\n
