The official Miss Swimwear South Africa crown and sash.
A professional portfolio shoot to support the winner's public profile.

Beyond South Africa
The selected national winner would qualify for the opportunity to represent South Africa at Miss Swimsuit USA International Worlds in the Dominican Republic, subject to the international organiser's eligibility requirements, final sponsorship, travel arrangements and written agreements.
This opportunity does not guarantee that the South African winner will receive the international crown. It provides her with the right to compete for that title on the international stage.
Opportunities to work with confirmed sponsors and partner brands.
A platform to represent the title and a personal cause for the duration of her reign.
All prize components and values remain proposed until each sponsorship and supplier commitment has been formally confirmed in writing.
