The Miss India Guyana Organization launched the Mr India Guyana contest in early of May this year where five contenders were introduced. However, owing to the pandemic, they were unable to pull off that version of the competition. As such, these same contenders will be vying for the Mr India Guyana title next year, according to the organization’s National Director, Hashim Ali. Applications are open for this competition also.
In May 2019, Rashena Hanif was crowned Miss India Guyana. The event also saw the crowning of Amisha Sarjoo as Miss Teen India Guyana 2019 and Kristal Inshan as Mrs India Guyana. With there being no pageant this year, the three queens will continue to reign until next year when they crown their successors. Ali said that if deemed necessary, the pageants will be held virtually.
