Miss Gibraltar 2013
Seven contestants signed up to compete at the 2013 Miss Gibraltar beauty pageant. Maroua Kharbouch was BetVictor's favourite to win Miss Gibraltar with the bookie offering odds of 8/13.[5] As all seven contestants chose their order of appearance for the upcoming pageant at random, in the presence of Mayor of Gibraltar Anthony Lima at the City Hall, Kharbouch selected number one.[6]
At 22 years of age, Maroua Kharbouch was crowned Miss Gibraltar 2013 at the 51st edition of the pageant, held at the John Mackintosh Hall on 8 June 2013.[1] She received part of her prize in the form of a cheque and clothing allowance from the Minister for Culture Steven Linares, at a ceremony held at the City Hall on 25 June 2013.[7]
