In less than 48 hours, one of six delegates will be crowned Miss East Bank Demerara when the pageant is held at the Soesdyke Ball Field on Saturday evening.
The delegates competing for the crown are Emily Nurse, Aultiia English, Aliyah Cort, Carlissa Boyce, Latifa Phillips and Janeil Cumberbatch.
On pageant night, the delegates will be competing in the introductory, swimwear, talent, evening gown and intelligence segments. The contestants are adding those final touches to their outfits and talent pieces.
It is expected to be a night of stiff competition since all the delegates will be bringing their A Game.
The aim of the pageant is to give young girls on the East Bank of Demerara a chance to boost their self-esteem and more so, to showcase their various communities.
It will also be used as a catalyst to empower young women to deal with various social issues such as domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, child abuse, and sexual abuse.
The audience will be entertained by Jory Hector and the deejays from the Silver Star, Blackstone and Hardball Squad sound systems. Admission to the event costs $1000.
