“We need to grow this pageant and have it move from strength to strength. What we are contemplating is having a Divisional Youth Ambassador Pageant, where all the divisions can compete.”
In attendance were First Lady Sandra Granger, Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan and his wife Sita Ramjattan. The Master of Ceremony for the night’s proceedings was media personnel Mondale Smith.
Contestants were required to participate in four segments, Professional wear, Talent segment, Sports segment and Evening wear. In the professional wear segment the girls chose a variety of careers they are ambitious of pursuing.
During the talent segment, each performance was entertaining. Pieces ranged from singing, drama, spoken word, lip-syncing and aerial dancing. Following this segment the delegates quickly transformed into sportswomen where they represented a sport of choice. Disciplines represented were basketball, football, hockey, boxing, cricket, lawn tennis and athletics.
The final and most anticipated segment, the Evening Wear was indeed amazing. Each dress worn was distinct in design and colour. The 15 beautiful young ladies confidently represented themselves in every aspect of the pageant before a sizeable audience, which included relatives and well-wishers.

During breaks between segments, the audience was treated to entertainment by THNL, a young lad who did a spoken word piece and a song. Additionally, local artiste Calvin Burnette performed a medley of songs simultaneously giving each lady a rose while the judges were tabulating their scores to select the final five.
