Judging took place for most of yesterday, including a luncheon at the Old George and Dragon, and culminating in a cocktail party at the Maitland Showground.
Dignitaries included Maitland MP Robyn Parker, the mayor of Maitland Peter Blackmore, mayoress Robyn Blackmore, and businessmen Hilton Grugeon who compered the evening.
Clare Wilkinson was voted the first runner-up, followed by Maddison Griffith in third place with her sister Emerald Griffith given the Encouragement Award.
Miss Lucas will also take the title of Miss Maitland representing the city’s youth for the next 12 months.
The counselling degree student said her entry to the competition had been a last-minutes decision.
