ON Friday night last, the nine delegates vying for the coveted Miss Guyana Universe 2014 title were sashed at the Pegasus Hotel with great pomp and fanfare as promised by the promoters.

As expected, the line-up was certainly astounding and this was magnificently demonstrated when the nine beauties took to the stage to be sashed by their official sponsors.
Meanwhile, come October 14, 2014, all Guyanese are urged to stay glued to their television as the dynamic ladies battle for top honours in the Intelligence Segment, which will be aired live via Television Guyana – 28 (TVG); National Communication Network (NCN); and Hits and Jams Television (HJTV).
Those sashed and presented to the public were reigning Miss Jamzone International, Soyini Fraser; former Miss Guyana Universe contestant, Nikita Barker; US-based Guyanese, Jyoti Hardat; Alicia Kirton; Sonia Cummings; Cardella Hamilton; Rochelle Cheddie; Lakota Mc Phoy and Shonette Cain.
October 18, 2014, is the date set for their grand rehearsals at the Pegasus Poolside where they will have an opportunity to fine-tune their preparations for the big night.
The grand coronation event has been set for Sunday, October 19, 2014, at the Pegasus Hotel from 20:00hrs. On pageant night, the delegates will be competing in swimwear, and evening wear and will also battle for high scores in the intelligence segments.
The winner will not only win US$10,000, but will also add to her belt of achievements the opportunity to represent Guyana in the international pageant slated for later in the year.
At the pageant, the MC, Katherina Roshana, who is the reigning Miss Guyana Universe created an electric atmosphere with the finesse and class of a royal queen.
