<h3>The Rose of Tralee International Festival is coming to town in search of its first ever Killarney Community Rose!</h3>
The team at the Festival have unveiled their new plan to host Community Rose selections in towns and villages across Ireland this year with &#8216;Rose of Tralee Communities&#8217; &#8211; in search of a Community Rose to represent your locality and who will go forward to compete at the county rose selection.
 Towns and villages across the country will host their own selection nights to pick a local Rose &#8211; and Rose Escort &#8211; to go forward to their respective counties&#8217; selection events, in this case &#8211; the Kerry Rose Selection!
 The winner will hold the title of Killarney Community Rose for one year, representing their community and go forward to the County Rose selection later in the year.
 Killarney has the honour of hosting the very first Community Rose event in the Kingdom &#8211; which will take place on Saturday, January 28 at the Heights Hotel in Killarney.
 The person chosen will go forward to the County Selection event and potentially represent their county at the International Festival from the August 19 to 23..
 Community Rose entrants must be female or identify as female, available for Rose Selection events and be 18 years of age by January 1, 2023 and not have reached their 30th birthday on or prior to September 1, 2023. Applicants must be born in Ireland, be an Irish citizen or be of Irish origin by virtue of one of your ancestors having been born in Ireland. They must also not have previously represented any Rose Centre at the Festival.
 Eligible young men between the ages of 21 and 31 are also asked to get involved with the voted winner going forward as a Rose Escort to the Kerry Rose Selection and guaranteed an interview for Rose Escort Bootcamp.
 &ldquo;We want to put community at the heart of the Rose Festival. Our Festival connects the global Irish diaspora, and this is a fantastic opportunity to extend that reach to include communities across Ireland in that celebration,&rdquo; Festival CEO, Anthony O&#8217;Gara, said.
