The 11 delegates vying for the title of Miss Guyana Teen Scholar 2023 will be officially unveiled to the public on Saturday evening at Herdmanston Lodge.
The Teen Scholar Pageant is in its 5th year and is Guyana’s only scholarship pageant for adolescent girls. 
The event – promoted by The Imperial House – is used as a development programme for adolescent girls to learn modules on self-awareness and value, professionalism and etiquette, and human rights and social development.
Candidates of this programme compete in a pageant for a scholarship that covers her expenses for any tertiary education programme in Guyana during her year of reign; she also manages a community development fund for her outreach and voluntary projects, and speaks as a role model, encouraging other girls to pursue their education and ambitions.
MGTSP has grown to be Guyana’s premier adolescent pageant since its first staging in 2016. In 2020 the committee pioneered a digital programme during the COVID-19 pandemic, and again in 2021 when it held Guyana’s first hybrid-virtual pageant with social media features and a live televised coronation event.
In 2022 the pageant featured online module sessions, physical choreography sessions, and a grand return to the National Cultural Centre.
This year, 11 delegates will continue to make history and be part of a tradition of brilliance and elegance. The grand coronation is slated for September 9, 2023, at the National Cultural Centre.
