KiNGSTON, Jamaica- YOUNG unmarried ladies from all over the world between the ages 17 to 26 are being sought to enter the Miss Global International Pageant, which is scheduled to take place at the Hilton Kingston Hotel on Sunday, September 26.
The prestigious pageant, which is in its sixth annual staging, features beautiful, intelligent and talented young ladies worldwide who have a combination of the requisite height, body, poise, awareness and personality.
Lachu Ramchandani has been involved in pageants for over 15 years and has been a major sponsor in several such events before becoming the franchise holder of Miss Global International.
On its initial staging, the pageant was known as the Miss Commonwealth Beauty Pageant and was restricted to 54 Commonwealth countries. However, Ramchandani began receiving request from other countries and he decided to make it a global event without restricting any of them.
This Pageant is also said to be one of the biggest the Caribbean has ever hosted. Twenty-four countries have so far been confirmed: Netherlands, Nigeria, Curacao, Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, Republic of Cape Verde, Egypt, Miss Jamaica, New Zealand, Dominican Republic, India, France, Italy, Russia, Guyana, Grenada, Brazil, Mongolia, Netherlands, Colombia, Zimbabwe and two participants from Trinidad & Tobago.
The reigning queen, Azarea Clare, hails from The Bahamas.
