Before a rapturous audience, the young ladies who will compete for the fifth Miss Show Off crown in a few months were unveiled.
Amid wild applauses the nine beaus confidently introduced themselves and vowed to win the coveted title under the theme: Once Upon A Time.
Founded in 2016 as a community-based event to promote talent and beauty, the pageant has now blossomed into the national sphere and eagerly-looked forward to yearly.
From the audition in early January, the delegated have continued to woo their audience up to the launch on Jan 30 at the Presidential Suite, Sir Vivian Richards stadium.
From being tall and elegant; short and graceful; solid and poised the contestants were selected from several communities across the island.
The brainchild of politician and community activist Colin James, the winners Miss Show Off represent the constituency of All Saints East & St Luke in the Miss Labour Queen Show. Some contestants have gone on to compete in other shows such as the Queen of Carnival and Miss Antigua & Barbuda Pageant.
“Miss Show Off is the first step to bigger and better things because you never know who will be watching you on stage,” James said at the unveiling. “We will go the extra mile to help realise your dreams and fulfill your talents and potential.”
Coordinator of the pageant, Shirrine Gillon, who runs the Dreamcatcher Modeling Agency, said the delegates are keen to impress the audience during the contest on Sun 19 April at 7:30pm at the Dean William Lake Cultural Centre in St John’s.
“I would like you (the audience) to give the ladies your support because it’s not easy for them to stand before a crowd and deliver,” said the fashion designer.
They will compete in personality, swimwear, talent, interview and evening wear segments.
The reigning queen is Kerryann Samuel who’s now pursuing a two-year scholarship at the Antigua & Barbuda Institute of Information Technology (ABITT).
This year’s winner will have the opportunity of a two-year college or university study.
