Mother and Daughter pageant turns 25

The Mother and Daughter Pageant is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year as Guyana celebrates its Golden Jubilee.This year’s pageant is being held under the theme “25 Flights of Love” and will take place this Saturday at the National Cultural Centre.

The Pageant will feature contestants in the junior, middle and senior categories. It is the only local pageant that brings together mothers and their daughters on the one stage in competition.

Pageant Director and Executive Producer, Dr. Sulan Fung believes that this year’s event will be extraordinary. She recalled that when her mother started the pageant, she was just a baby and now she is happy to be the one leading the beauty event.

Dr. Fung also announced that this year’s pageant will feature a special 25-year journal which will chronicle the pageant over the past 25 years. Many of the past winners are expected to be at the NCC to support the event as they reflect on their days on the big stage.

Dr. Fung’s mother, Educator Ingrid Fung, is one of the producers of the show and she is promising a spectacular event.
She said she is pleased with where the pageant is today and how much it has grown over the years. She said when the pageant started 25 years ago, no one expected that it would have lasted that long. It began as an idea in the staff room of St. Joseph’s High and has now grown in to Guyana’s longest running pageant.

This year’s event will see contestants competing for a number of big prizes including trips to several overseas destinations. It is also the first time that the event will have a 76-year-old mother gracing the stage in addition to a mother who is visually impaired.
