BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – TREVICIA ‘BARBIE’ ADAMS who represented St. Kitts in the Miss Caribbean Culture Pageant held in Nevis last evening has won the judge’s nod in capturing the crown with a total of 1826 points.
Adams, who placed first runner-up in the National Carnival Queen Pageant, was consistent throughout her performance capturing Best Ambassadorial Wear and Best Evening Wear.
In the first runner-up position was Miss Curacao, Marvia Laurence, with a total of 1820 points who also captured the Best Interview segment, and second runner-up was Miss St. Lucia, Louise Victor who won Best Swimsuit and amassed a total of 1785 points.
The third runner-up position was awarded to Miss St. Croix, Sheniece Massiah who tallied 1706 points while Best Performing Talent and Miss Photogenic were awarded to Miss Montserrat Claris Yearwood.
The Best Promotional video award went to Miss Barbados Jamilah Forde and Miss Anguilla Marejah Smith was named Miss Amity.
The other countries that participated were Dominican Republic who along with Curacao participated for the first time in the competition and Miss Nevis represented by the 2011/2012 Miss Culture Queen Santonnya Mills.
Creator of the pageant Randy Jeffers in a previous interview with SKNVibes said that this year they had a host of stunning ladies and expected a great show.
He also said he had contemplated taking a back seat in organizing the show and preferred to be an advisor for the committee.
“Every year I say the same thing; it can be very hectic and stressful but each year when it comes around I get excited and start organizing it. The show has come a long way and I’m very proud of it; it is going to be around for a very long time,” he stated.
A large and appreciative crowd attended the event.
The theme for this year was ‘Culturally yours’, and it was used as a means of motivating each participating territory to present its country’s finest and most creative attributes and talents in the visual and performing arts.
The reigning Miss Caribbean Culture was Miss St. Lucia, Oneka Mckoy.
This is the second time St. Kitts is capturing the title, as it was won by former National Carnival Queen, Mariece Roberts in 2009.
