THE 2013 Porlock Carnival Queen and Princesses have been chosen after a close contest.
Queen Thea Lazarus will be supported by Princesses Genevieve Pratt and Lauren Batiste.
They will lead the floats in the Porlock Carnival procession in their state coach on September 7 at 5.30pm.
More details will be released nearer the time, but it is understood a few surprises are in the pipeline.
