Those who competed for the crown were placed in real-life Miss South Africa scenarios that included a series of challenges. These were based on the four pillars of Miss South Africa – duty, championship, empowerment, and beauty. All the finalists moved into Miss SA HQ from where they were given tasks that tested their ability to showcase their interpretation of these four pillars. Their entrepreneurial and business skills were put to the test; they were asked to find innovative ways to encourage tourism, to show support for female-owned businesses, to raise money for charity, or showcase aspects of heritage. A challenge winner was selected each week by the judging panel.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
