The Miss Wales 2010 Grand Final was a wonderful evening – never has St David’s Hall in Cardiff looked so good.

Courtenay Hamilton won the title with the two runners up being Summer Ghanavati from Cardiff who came second and Jamie Lee Williams from Llanmynych who was third. The competition was sponsored by Wales leading supplier of evening wear and promwear – Dress Stop.com.
