Morning Sunners, as you would have noticed I left out the ‘Good' in this morning's greetings. Only because it's a little miserable.

The weather is up to its old tricks today will a little bit of rain but lets not beat up on the old rain. The grass could do with a bit of water. What's on today to keep us entertained?

Well there is the Miss Mount Maunganui which is returning to the Bay, but with a different look.

After 60 years of the beauty pageant being held on Mount Main Beach, the competition is now moving online. The public will make up 50 per cent of the voting online, with the other 50 per cent coming from the judges.

People wanting to enter the competition can still head down to the pop-up Mr and Miss Mount station, opposite Mount Drury, today.

From there, the pictures will be loaded to zmonline.com on January 5.

The photos will remain online for one week to allow the public to vote for their winner.

Thousands of dollars of prizes are up for grabs, including a prize pack from Sanctum Beauty Therapy and Spa, and Fuji Instax cameras for the runner-up.

The online competition is only going to be a one off, with central region brand engagement manager for NZME Matt Davy hoping to see the return of Miss Mount Maunganui in all its glory next year.

Former Miss Universe Lorraine Downes wore the crown and sash in the early 1980s, but even this beauty queen wasn't from the Mount.

Our very own, Sun Media reporter Zoe Hunter entered in 2014, undercover to experience the beauty competition for herself.

So go online and have a vote. If going online isn't your cup of tea then check out the movies, there are plenty of great movies on right now. Or head along to one of the many different activities happening around our great city.
