Tonight, Miss Guyana Universe Katherina Roshana will be handing over her crown to a young woman who will be charged with representing Guyana on the international stage on January 24, in Miami, Florida, USA.
Katherina Roshana who represented the nation with dignity and pride will sure have a few words of encouragement and more so, provide guidance as the crowned queen continues her quest for international stardom.
To date, the nine beautiful, talented and intelligent young ladies have been adding that final touches to for pageant night which is set for Sunday at the Pegasus poolside. The nine delegates – Soyini Fraser, Nikita Barker, Jyoti Hardat, Alicia Kirton, Sonia Cummings, Cardella Hamilton, Rochelle Cheddie, Lakota Mc Phoy and Shonette Cain – have also been in the gym getting their bodies toned for the highly anticipated competition.
The delegates have completed one aspect of the competition – the intelligence segment, which was broadcast live on national television on Tuesday evening. This however, has been creating some buzz in the respective camps.
One who looked at the intelligence segment would agree that all the delegates answered quite eloquently and fluently as if they were rehearsed for the show. Nevertheless, there were some who were more outstanding than others, placing themselves in the top five as they vie for the coveted title.
Soyini Fraser, reigning Miss Jamzone International and the first Guyanese to win the Miss United Nations Pageant back in 2012, was on top of her game and answered every question with confidence and command.
Like her, Cardella Hamilton also displayed a high level of maturity and calmness.
All eyes will be on the delegates on tonight as they compete in the swimsuit segment, the evening gown segment and the final question.
The scores from the intelligence segment will be added to the final scores on pageant night.
The grand coronation is set to commence at 20:00h.
Apart from the contest, Trinidadian Soca Sensation, Kees Dieffenthaller, lead singer of Kes the Band will be performing Live.
Tickets for the pageant cost $3000 for general admission and $6000 for VIP.
