ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Due to popular demand, for the first time ever a contest will be held to select the 2020 Mrs BVI Globe.

Three women will be vying for the title at Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium on March 28, 2020.

Contestant #1 is Mrs Rosita N. Scatliffe, an educator and entrepreneur, whose platform is "LADY", which stands for leading and developing youths.

Candidate #2 is Stephanie A. Brewley, a local businesswoman currently furthering her studies. Her theme is ‘Self-Love’.

Contestant #3 is Mrs Felicia Tonge-Fenton, a cosmetologist and salon owner. Her platform statement is ‘Walking in Purpose’.

Successful 2019/2020 for Mrs BVI

Women’s International Network (WIN) BVI Director, Ms Alicia Green made the announcement during an interview on JTV News on March 5, 2020.

Ms Green explained that in the past Mrs BVI hopefuls were processed in a more private setting and one is then selected and crowned in a more public fund raiser event.

She added that the year of the reign of Mrs BVI 2019-2020, Mrs Shondrea N. Turnbull has been a very good one.

Mrs Turnbull ranked 6th in the Mrs Globe Pageant in Shenzhen, China last year.

In addition to that Mrs Green was awarded Mrs Globe's Director of the Year.

"But this year we are overly excited because with Shondrea's success and my award of being Director of the year we now have the opportunity to host international women from all over the globe."

As WIN BVI debuts its open audience stage competition, they will be doing so in the presence of Founder of Mrs Globe and Chief Executive Officer Dr Tracy Kembel and an Entourage including Mrs Clasique  Globe and a number of queens (Mrs) from around the region.

The day prior to the contest, Dr Kembel will be the keynote presenter at a one-day seminar titled ‘Reclaiming Me’.

Mrs Turnbull will be hosting that event at Quitos new Banquet Centre in Cane Garden Bay.

The event is opened to women from age 18 and up, at a cost of $40.

At the pageant, the contestants will be on stage in swim and evening wears, platform presentation and personality interviews.

    While it is wonderful to see a good variety of contestants, to my knowledge Mrs. BVI, after winning moves on to another pageant to compete internationally and wouldn’t the winner have to meet those standards? Slender, poised, gracious, beautiful,educated, intelligent etc.? Or do they have the option to just perform in this pageant and end there? This is a serious question and not an insult to anyone.

      I agree with the comments made by "Not limited to the BVI. Whilst it's great for women to step up and enter these pageants, in my opinion and after watching numerous pageants around the world, that the selectors needs to choose women who can meet international standards. Why have a local competition and the whole country know the winner in no way can compare to these women on an international level. Look at the reigning Mrs. BVI. She is a woman that's fits all the criteria in my opinion. Look how well she did internationally. If you watched the show in China you would see the kind of competition that these girls go against. Let us not set up our ladies to fail from the beginning.

        The current Mrs.BVI and the current Ms.BVI did well on the international stage because they are both well spoken, well educated and poised women.

      @ Not limited to the BVI, I agree with your comment. Your comment should not be an insult to anyone. I feel that any contestant from the BVI will never win an international pageant.

        And how do you know this in advance? Naysayers may have said that a B.V.I athlete would never set a record against international athletes, then came Mr. McMaster. Let us give them our encouragement and laud them for their courage to step forward to represent!!

        Nothing beats a failure but a try!

          Pageantry and athletics are two very different things. An athlete can continuously train and improve which is what Kyron did and he is now a great success and we’re all so proud of him, undoubtedly. However, pageantry is something you take at face value. What you see is what you get and most times by the time the contestant has won they’re rapidly pushed into the international pageants and there’s really no time for real improvement that will make them win anything on a global scale. From the time they compete in these local pageants they need to already meet international standards. They only reign for a year. So I totally understand what “So agreed” said but failed to throughly explain. You cannot expect an international win with subpar women.

    It’s funny how you all quick to come here and bash people using fake names. You guys are so hateful I’m sure none of you would have the courage to do what these young ladies are doing. Hate is spewed by miserable and unhappy people. Ladies don't mind the haters do things that others wouldn't you will be in positions they only dream of. If you going bash someone do it and show your name you just as fake calling someone fake

      Question what is there for anyone to be hating? I'd really like to know, Felicia like she's struggling to love and respect herself, she is not as confident in herself as she portrays to be on social media. I feel the people that are closest to her aren't genuine friends and well wishers. She's the most attacked here, people need to stop lying and tell her the truth if they are REALLY her friends and wants the best for her, which one are you?

      I hope she's ready because if she makes past the BVI she's in for a whole more criticisms.

    Hmmmm, just in case,this is not fake news;
    Lawd ?..they have taken upon themselves to rep the BVI. Sooooo criticism is warranted from those they claim to be representing. But of course we know that VI women of quality, their body is not tatoooed to the 9th degree and neither would they be crass enough to even think about grotesquely waddling on the world stage with at least 100lbs of excessive blubber wearing a bathing suit . Is this fake news or comedy?. . Why these kinda people feel so compelled to embarass women everywhere and especially those in the BVI....Lawd man

      They put themselves up for public scrutiny by opting to be in a pageant where they will then go internationally to represent US as a territory. If we are not a pleased with the choices then we’re free to voice that. There’s nothing prejudice of hateful going on here, it’s just the harsh reality of everything.

    I have never seen such hate for black woman coming from black woman, it really hurts my heart... we are the only race that don't love nor support each other. listen we all are women lets try to build each other up, give loving advice and be more polite.
    to these ladies i wish you all the best on your day and even though there are much hateful comments there are indeed people who are rooting for you.
    it matters not who wins to me because this step shows that all of you are winners.
    stay beautiful ladies, inside and out.
