Last year’s winner, Ella Hyde, is preparing to pass the crown on this years Queen or indeed King.
Gala committee member Stuart Frost said: “Boys are as welcome to apply as girls, infact we would like more boys to try. We’ve only had one Gala King since it began in 1973.”
On the night applicants will be expected to answer a few questions in front of the panel which includes Stray FM’s Alex Cann.
Mr Frost said: “They aren’t difficult questions so there is no need to worry, just things like, what is your favourite thing about Bilton? What would you do if you were Queen of Bilton?”
This year the Gala will have a history theme with live reenactments, Mr Frost said thecommittee had wanted to do something different and have lots going on.
He said: “Last year was Olympic themed and the year before was Royalty, the committee decide the theme together and it adds to the occasion.”
