Applications opened on Thursday last and young women aged 13 to 19 years old, interested in the Miss Guyana Teen Scholarship Pageant 2022, which offers a $400,000 prize, are invited to apply via the link on the Imperial House Facebook page. The application fee is $1,000.

Director Wasim Khan said he was excited about this year’s pageant being hosted in a physical setting. The inaugural pageant was held in 2019 but when COVID struck in 2020, instead of cancelling the pageant, the Imperial House replaced it with a digital university allowing for one of the contestants to win a cash grant as well ensuring automatic placement in the 2021 pageant quarterfinals. Last year, the preliminaries were hosted virtually and the contestants who scored the highest competed in the Question and Answer segment in a physical setting following strict COVID-19 protocols.
