Guyanese can expect nothing short of an exhilarating experience on Saturday evening when the Miss Guyana Culture Queen Pageant is hosted at the National Cultural Centre.
Nine delegates are slated to take to the stage to compete in several segments including national costume, talent, swimwear, evening gown, and intelligence.
Franchise holder of the pageant, well-known fashion designer Randy Madray explained that Saturday evening will be an unforgettable experience both for the delegates as well as the audience.
The pageant will be a well-rounded one that will display the work of other creatives within the fashion design industry, artists, and corporate Guyana.
“We want to incorporate other designers, we want to incorporate artists we want to incorporate the dancers we want to incorporate our sponsors and corporate Guyana to benefit from this with opportunities to market and put their products out there and their services, with that being said…Guyanese can expect a spectacular night,” Madray told the Guyana Times.
The spectacular designer shared that the main focus of the pageant is to create a holistic experience for the nine delegates and to ensure the experience is one they can benefit and learn from. He also noted that this pageant is a great way to showcase the cultures of Guyana to the world and further put us in the limelight in the pageantry industry.
“We want to ensure our young women have such a good experience while preparing to compete and the competition really and truly is with themselves, to overcome their fears, to overcome the insecurities and really lock into their greater selves and their truest potentials and embark on journeys they never thought they could have and so we stand here to provide that opportunity.”
“I’m looking at the more holistic picture of what we can do for these young women as Guyana, and what we can do, as Guyana, to showcase [our country], celebrate it and let the world know we’re here in the pageant industry and we’re here to stay and our journey has begun to consistently win crowns and bring it back to Guyana and that is my truest vision, aim and hope for this country at this point,” the designed further added.
Madray noted that he had been working with many creatives to put on a show that is spectacular, well organized, well put together, and follows international criteria. “We’ve even put a lot of thought into the red-carpet experience we believe [the] red carpet should be an experience and not just a red carpet for the sake of seeing the red carpet. We’re focused on the ambiance and the overall creativity that is being put into this is mind-blowing,” the renowned designer shared.
Madray added that even though the pageant has not been held yet, Guyana has already made quite the impact as we have caught the attention of our regional audience. Meanwhile, tickets for the pageant cost $6,000 and $5,000 and are available at the NCC Box Office and members of the committee. Showtime is 19:00h but the red-carpet experience commences at 18:00h.
The crowned queen will represent Guyana at the Miss Culture Queen International pageant billed for August.
