“We are delighted with the selection of Charnee as the winner,” stated Tricia Green, Senior Brand Manager at Valeant Pharmaceuticals. “She was selected by a combination of viewers who voted in the online contest, and a panel of judges in the beauty and skincare fields. All applicants were evaluated based on appearance and how well they represent the look of the AMBI brand.”
As the Grand Prize Winner, Charnee will be featured in a national print campaign, receiving a three day/two night trip to New York City for a professional photo shoot. In addition, she will receive a $2,000 prize. “Charnee stood out as a bold, spirited woman.
