Earlier this year the Ministry of Social Affairs in Cambodia, banned a Miss Landmine pageant from taking place, saying it was damaging to the dignity and rights of the disabled.

The 20 contestants (all Cambodian landmine victims) were disappointed when the pageant was banned. Now the pageant will continue but in Norway, not Cambodia.

Photos of the 20 contestants will be carried down the catwalk at the South Norway Museum of Arts this Saturday. The actual contestants themselves will remain in Cambodia.
