CPMA Pleased With Responses To Date.
THE Carnival Planning and Management Agency (CPMA) and the National Carnival Queen Pageant Committee has announced the new date for the second round of auditions for the National Carnival Queen Pageant.
Having received several requests and inquiries, the CPMA has decided on the final audition for Monday March 28 at the National Cultural Centre.
Last Sunday’s audition which was hosted by the reigning National Carnival Queen Miss Yvana David saw young ladies from a wide cross section of the country boldly and fiercely represent their communities and themselves. The community of Choiseul was represented by three stunning beauties while Micoud boasted two representatives.
Other communities represented included Dennery, Laborie, Anse la Raye, Babonneau, Marchand, Castries, Gros Islet and environs. Fifteen contestants appeared on Sunday before the judges in the categories of swimwear, talent, evening wear and interview, all very dynamic and powerful in various performances.
Public Relations Officer of the Committee Miss Louise Victor who commented on the audition said: “As a committee we are excited to have kicked off this process much earlier than usual considering the many plans we have for this year’s journey to the crown. Sunday’s audition was undoubtedly a reaffirmation of the dynamism and reservoir of talent that our country possesses. The young ladies were bold, beautiful and courageous. We have however continued to receive some requests as to the hosting of a second audition, hence, to ensure that there is equal opportunity for inclusion and participation, we have decided to host the second and final audition on Easter Monday, March 28. The format will remain the same and we therefore encourage all who were not able to make Sunday’s audition to come out and be part of this life changing journey. “
Finalists for the 2016 National Carnival Queen Pageant will be unveiled during the first week in April.
