The stage is set for the red carpet sashing ceremony of the 2018 “Miss Berbice I’m a Big deal, Beauty and Empowerment Pageant” delegates which will take place at State House Lawns, New Amsterdam, this Saturday, October 20.
This will be the first public appearance for the nine Berbician beauties who will share their vision and focus on topical issues that are plaguing the ancient county.
The organisers have been looking at ways in which they can raise the bar by adding new and unique experiences for Berbicians and this is one such way, since this will be the first event of its kind in the Ancient County.
Royston Drakes, Director of RD Productions under which the pageant is being held, said the evening will be filled with live entertainment from some of the best talents in Berbice.
Prizes will be given for the best dressed male and female and cancer survivors will be honoured. The delegates will do a three-part presentation which will begin with a sassy and confident dance number, followed by their presentation and conclude with their sponsors sashing them.
Also on the programme is a boutique fashion show which will be hosted by Couture Closet, featuring models from Berbice.
The focus remains heavily on social awareness which is being tackled by delegates who are educating and informing the masses on the issue of suicide, domestic violence, cyberbullying and women empowerment among others to help curb these social ills.
This will be the second edition of the “Miss Berbice, I am a Big Deal Beauty and Empowerment Pageant” and the organisers have broken up the pageant into various segments which will continue in the month of November with a swimsuit competition, costume extravaganza, family fun day and conclude with the main event on Saturday, November 20, at the Albion Sports Complex Ground.
Top Brandz Distributors who supply Corona, Budweiser, Budlight, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages remains the main sponsor of the event and other youth and women development projects in the region.
