The Miss World Guyana Organisation is looking for that one delegate to represent Guyana at the international pageant slated for the latter part of 2021.
As such, the organisation is inviting young women of Guyanese heritage between the ages of 17 and 26 years-old to apply to be a part of the Miss World Guyana national competition.

The Miss World programme is designed to be an excellent vehicle for building confidence, advancing careers and personal goals and in particular leaving a lasting positive legacy. It truly represents female empowerment and serves as a mechanism to showcase national talent.
In addition, representing Guyana on the Miss World stage is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The crown attracts a whopping $5.5 million prize package.
As this year is one to inspire and give hope, Majesty International, the official Licenced Franchise Holder of Miss World Guyana, is teaming up with several Guyanese talents to make a bold move into the film industry.
They will be giving the world a personal journey beyond the beauty and glamour with its first seasonal series dubbed “Victoria Regia” – the blossoming of Guyana’s national flower; her journey to the Miss World crown.
The 12-episode semi-reality series will be a boost for the tourism industry as it aims at showcasing Guyana like never seen before. It will also feature all the elements of fashion, entertainment, flamboyant judges and unbelievable storytelling, as it promotes the true values and attributes of the Guyanese woman inclusive of the various aspects of preparation, planning, interviews and behind-the-scenes activities.
“We are contributing to the continuity of pageantry in some way or the other,” National Director Natasha Martindale noted.
More so, the organisation has been creating stars and superwomen since debuting at Miss World’s Beauty With a Purpose competition in the 1960s and will continue to do so now on a different level where the entire world is plugged in and watching.
Guyana’s candidates will be the stars of the show and will support women in sports & fitness, community development, and promote the most talented and beautiful Guyanese women.
With a top 40 placement in 2019 by Miss World Guyana 2019, Joylyn Conway, Guyana has had tremendous recent successes on the Miss World stage, including top 10 overall finishers by Rafieya Husain in London in 2014 and Lisa Punch in China in 2015.
Perhaps the most notable success story on the Miss World stage can be attributed to Shakira Baksh (Caine) who represented Guyana at Miss World in 1967 and finished third overall.
