Brittany Dickson who was adjudged as Miss Charity Australia 2019 has been appointed as the new Miss Earth Australia 2020 and will represent Australia at Miss Earth 2020 virtual pageant in November 2020. The organization of Miss Earth Australia had announced a few week ago that due to the current pandemic situation in the country the organization will choose the next representative of Australia for Miss Earth 2020 competition from 2019 Elemental Queens. She succeeds Miss Earth Australia 2019 Susana Downes.
Brittany stands 175 cm tall and graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Bioscience majoring in Wildlife and Conservation with honours. Her goal in life is to work in wildlife conservation among legends like Sir David Attenborough and Jane Goodall.
The diva is not new to the pageantry as she has in Miss Earth Australia in 2017 and was crowned Miss Earth Australia Air 2017 at the end of the event finale. She was also the part of Miss Earth Australia 2014. She had volunteered her time for various wildlife groups and animal organisations such as the Animal Welfare League, the Save the Tasmanian Devil Organisation and Greening Australia.
Being a Brain Cancer Survivor herself, she has also become an ambassador and now works towards more and more awareness about the disease. Being a beauty with brains, Brittany will be a strong competition for the other ladies at the national competition and if she wins, she will for sure be a fierce competitor for the Miss Earth 2020 crown. The diva’s journey to the crown hasn’t been easy but she is ready to give her best at the competition whenever she participated.
Brittany had mentioned, “I don’t want the crown for the glory, I want the crown to raise my voice to reach as many people as possible in the pursuit of a greener Earth.” She also wants to use the platform to talk and raise awareness about the brain cancer as she mentioned that she was able to survive it and believes that she is now able to reflect on the importance of awareness for all neurological issues. She is very grateful for the people who have helped her and kept her motivated and now wants to use her platform to connect with people like her.
The diva stated that one of the things that she has learned during her stint at Miss Earth Australia 2019 is the fact that beauty pageants are not just about pretty face and dresses but much more than that. She also mentioned, “I am at my happiest when I’m out immersed in the wonder of nature, I couldn’t imagine a world without all of the amazing creatures and landscapes that I’ve been able to experience.” She is also and advocate of saying no to plastics and choosing recyclable plastics. She is determined, hardworking and compassionate and would surely emerge as one of the strongest contender for the title of Miss Earth 2020.
