Finals of Miss Jamaica Rescheduled for October 9th
According to Dahlia Harris, the co-franchise holder, the Miss Jamaica World (MJW) beauty pageant’s grand coronation, slated for last weekend, has been postponed until October 9.
The Disaster Risk Management Act (DRMA) as the cause stated.
Speaking with the Jamaica Observer, Dahlia stated that “As the measures change, people also have to shift and change their plans. Initially, the show was scheduled for Sunday, September 26, and then we tried to shift it to Saturday — the 25th — but the time frame was short of putting the necessary things in place in terms of permits and approvals. We would never want to do the Miss Jamaica World competition and breach any of the Government’s regulations. So, we thought it best to postpone until a later date.”
Currently, public gatherings are limited to ten, and Sundays are designated as no-movement days.
According to Harris, the pageant coronation, initially scheduled for the Little Theatre in St Andrew, will now be conducted at the Courtleigh Auditorium without a live audience.
“Instead, we will transmit on RE-TV, which will be delayed on Television Jamaica” ( TVJ). All of that information will make available to the public as soon as possible so that everyone may watch and participate,” she added.
Jamaica’s representative to the 2019 Miss World pageant, Toni-Ann Singh, was crowned Miss World in December 2019. She is still the reigning titleholder of both Miss Jamaica World and Miss World.
Harris said the brand expects the current Miss World to attend the coronation despite the lack of a live audience.
“Despite the changes, the epidemic, and all that has happened, we are still grateful for Toni-Ann Singh’s presence…
How much of a stir Toni-Ann made when she won Miss World. Can you picture yourself crowned Miss World? It’s going to be fantastic knowing she’ll be here as we kick off our Miss World 70 celebration,” Harris said.
This year’s finalists are Khalia Hall, Miss General Foods Supermarket, Shinell Mills, Miss TM Ross Beauty, Mazika McDermott, Miss Knutsford Express, and others.
