The Miss Jamzone Beach Pageant is taking on a reality style format this year, involving the public in selecting the local representative for the pageant which has since gone international.
Pageant organizers had announced earlier this year the new direction in which the event is going; delegates will be drawn from across the Caribbean region to compete for the crown and the car.
A press release from the organizers this week announced that the local representative for the pageant will be selected through a ‘reality series’. The participants this year will be shortlisted from successful applications and interviews over the period of a few weeks.
According to the organizers, the girls will have to complete various challenges that are aimed at testing their intellectual capacity; fashion and beauty senses; ability to function efficiently under pressure and their overall ability to represent Guyana on the international scene. The Miss Jamzone International Show will be aired weekly on Hits and Jams Television (HJTV) and the National Communications Network (NCN). The public will be allowed to vote in via text messages.
