Reflecting on the experience, Ms. Jeremy remarked, “This was one of the most demanding tasks for me.
These young women are not only beautiful but also highly educated and talented. Among them are attorneys at law, one with 19 grade 1’s, and nearly all are degree holders or in pursuit of one.
We even had candidates with bachelor’s and master’s degrees.” She also advised, “Those who didn’t make it should walk away confidently and consider trying again next year.”

Senator Govia stated, “Reappointing Marsh and Marsh Productions was an obvious choice after they elevated the Queen of Carnival 2023 to new heights, resulting in a show that was eagerly awaited, impeccably executed, and successful, as demonstrated by the record-breaking attendance.” She added, “The young ladies’ level of preparedness was impressive, and I expect it will contribute to a highly competitive show that blends cultural heritage with modern appeal.”
Additionally, the reality series “Crowned” will make a comeback, continuing on the same platform as in previous years. The series offers the audience an intimate look at the contestants’ journey to the competition and doubles as a promotional vehicle for the Queen of Carnival show.

The outfits tell me everything I need to know.
A great group of young ladies. The standard of the shows is improving. Even the Labour Queen Contestants are impressive. I’m glad that in Antigua to witness these choices.
Honey Dave Ray 🍆🍆I’m back. I heard you begging for more so I brought my twin
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
You mostly would know fine females, you are one of them
Impressive. This has been the most contestants for a carnival queen competition in the 69 years of the pageant’s history. Usually there were only 6 or 7 contestants. The selection was more selective and diverse than most years, with young ladies from different the ethnic groups in Antigua. Its a shame there will be no Caribbean Jaycees Queen competition this year. Something that has never happened since the shows inception in 1962. Hopefully they will reconsider. We need to have our contestants vie for Miss Universe & Miss World like we did in previous years. Good luck to all the girls.
Calvin S my good friend, you are THE one and only leading expert of all pageantry. I hope we can start to send delegates to Miss Universe & Miss World pageants again. Hope to see you this carnival and we will meet up with my BFF Veron Stoute (who in my opinion is the best Miss Antigua & Miss Jaycees in Antigua s carnival history) for good times 🎶 🍣 🦞 🍷 🕺 💃
