LIKE many other annual traditions, Supa Stylistics’ “Mother & Daughter Pageant” paused briefly when the pandemic hit two years ago. They’re ready for a comeback on May 7.

With 20 contesting pairs in three categories, the Mother & Daughter Pageant promises to be a red carpet affair with grand prizes for takes.

Speaking at a press conference, on Thursday, at the National Cultural Centre, Georgetown, where the pageant will be held, the pageant’s co-founders, Mrs Ingrid Fung, and her daughter, Pageant Director and Executive Producer, Dr Sulan Fung, disclosed that the event will be held under the theme, “Inescapable Spring of Love”.

“After two years, we are bringing life back to the National Cultural Centre; to the ‘Inescapable Spring of Love’. We are welcoming the Guyanese audience to the Mother & Daughter Pageant 2022,”, Dr Fung said.

She added that this year, the pageant will be an exhilarating night of elegance with a two-in-one package, with the hosting of the pageant’s first red carpet affair ahead of the show.

Dr Fung disclosed that this year’s event will also see many surprises, supported by an eager team of sponsors.

“We are coming back stronger!” Dr Fung said, adding that this year the pageant will be hosted as a partnership with the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sport.

“We have also joined in with Team Mohammed’s, Chung’s Global Enterprise, and Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GTT), all to bring you fine, wholesome family entertainment,” she added
Meanwhile, Mrs Fung hinted that the event will have attendees on the “edge of their seats” with excitement.

“We have 20 pairs of mothers and daughters; marvelous mothers and daughters. In the junior category, we have six pairs. In the middle category, we have six pairs, and in the senior category, we have eight pairs.

“So, we know people will be sitting at the edge of their seats and wanting more,” Mrs Fung intimated.

Meanwhile, Andrew Tyndall, National Events Coordinator of the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sport, disclosed that with the recent upgrade made to the National Cultural Centre, the event will be a grand entertainment slam, with top quality production.

In November last, the Ministry installed new seats in the centre’s auditorium.

Tyndall noted further enhancements were made to the centre’s lighting and sound systems which would increase production quality.

Tickets for the pageant are currently on sale at the ticketing booth of National Cultural Centre, priced at $3,000 and $4,000.
