After a 6-year hiatus from the Miss Universe Pageant, one of eight lucky young ladies will represent Guyana at the year’s pageant.
This year’s pageant saw a total of 500 applicants expressing interest; however, when the residency requirements process began, that number was reduced to 90 because of competition fees and other deterrents.
The eight delegates were given the freedom to select their own title to represent a specific region, village, or town across Guyana. 
These are Miss Bartica, Colline Ward; Miss Demerara-Mahaica Mackella Profeiro; Miss Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, Chandini Baljor; Miss Georgetown, Lieve Blanckaert; Miss La Parfaite Harmonie, Melissa McLean; Miss Pakaraima, Britny Mack; Miss Pomeroon-Supenaam Lisa Narine and Miss Rupununi, Anika Felicien.
The delegates will be officially sashed by their respective sponsors this evening followed by the grand coronation on Saturday evening at the Guyana Marriott Hotel Georgetown.
On pageant night, the delegates will be judged on in several segments including interview, swimsuit, evening gown, and intelligence.
The winner of the Guyana leg of the competition will then travel to El Salvador to compete in the international pageant slated for November 18, 2023.
