The Miss Emancipation Queen pageant is here again, and seven phenomenal beauties are vying for the coveted crown.
The pageant is set for Saturday, August 5, at the National Cultural Centre, where the delegates will take the stage to compete in several segments, including a STEM project. 
Pageant Director Gabriel Atherley, a former Miss Emancipation Queen herself, told this publication that all systems are in place for the exciting event. She said
that prizes have already been secured for the delegates, and the Queen would have to choose between accepting a medical scholarship to the Georgetown American University or a cash voucher. Additionally, the Queen would receive a trip for two to Kaieteur Falls, sponsored by the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA).
The pageant’s first runner-up would get to go on an Essequibo Day Tour also sponsored by the GTA, while the second runner-up would be awarded an Elite Kayaking Day Tour, again sponsored by the GTA.
Winners would receive additional prizes from various sponsors. The winner of the Best Smile Prize would be rewarded with a free cleaning, polishing, and teeth-whitening service from Smile Guyana Dental Services, while the winner of the People’s Choice category would be receiving a free photoshoot by Terrence Thompson Photography.
The most glamorous part of the competition is expected to be the evening gown segment, where each of the delegates would get the opportunity to showcase what they determine to be African royal evening wear.
