ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The three young ladies vying to become the first ever Miss Earth BVI had their knowledge tested on Friday evening, June 21, 2013 at Village Cay.

That Intelligence Segment was closed to the public but those present at the venue were able to have yet another look at the contestants. Contestant #1 Jaidene Webbe, Contestant #2 Shona Rogers and Contestant #3 Kimberly Herbert all participated in an environmental friendly dress parade, which was part of the competition also.

The three contestants, wearing clothes made out of recyclable materials, paraded before a panel of judges.

All three contestants were said to have displayed very creative pieces, however, while Ms Rogers and Ms Herbert chose recycled plastic for their outfit, contestant number 1 Miss Jaidene Webbe chose to do her pieces out of cardboard and her choice were boxes of cornflakes. Her earrings were of cereals and sections of her shoes were also decorated with cereals.

Contestant #3 Kimberly Herbert had her earrings made of soda can knobs, which most persons found very interesting.

The outfit of choice was not announced on Friday night, creating yet another reason for patrons to ensure they grab a ticket early for the pageant set for June 30, 2013.

Miss Earth BVI contestants make debut appearance at fundraiser

Pageants have become one of the most sought after promotional activities in the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean and around the world and while one would want to say it’s an over-kill they would no doubt say that the Miss Earth BVI Pageant is one that promises to be of substance and should be supported.

There is no doubt that come June 30, 2013 everyone who chooses to be present at the pageant will walk away with a wealth of knowledge and a renewed zest to do their bit in helping to promote a safe earth. This is a concept that would have been easily drawn by those who took time out to be present at Nanny Cay on Friday April 26, 2013, when the promoters of the Miss Earth BVI Pageant staged a fund raiser "Pennies for the Planet." The event was designed to raise funds for the pageant and to support other note-worthy causes. Persons were asked to donate coins that they didn't intend to use.

Three young ladies were introduced to the public as the first contestants of the inaugural pageant: Contestant #1 Jaidene Webbe, Contestant #2 Shona Rogers and Contestant #3 Kimberly Herbert. In brief introductions of themselves they did not fail to impress with the construction of their sentences, their assertiveness, their brilliant smiles and poise. Very important too was their ability to comfortably interact with patrons.

Since the conceptualisation of the pageant, the three young aspiring women have been spending extensive time studying their platforms and being involved in related activities. Prior to getting all dressed up in fancy clothing to show off their beautiful bodies, teasing smiles and their flare for fashion, they took time out to promote the pageant. They were then joined by other models showcasing fashionable clothing compliments of 'Good Fellas' as part of the night's promotion.

The winner of the Miss Earth BVI crown will receive handsome prize packages including Charlie Co. Green Frost Shoes, $5,000 cash, trip to Miss Earth, trip to Miss Humanities, trip to Miss Jamzone, official Trophy, official Sash, Kindle and a trophy for participating. Most of all, the winner will become an Environmental Ambassador of the Virgin Islands and will have the opportunity to represent the Territory in several shows throughout the Caribbean and internationally.

Contestants are likely to compete in five categories; Introduction, Swimwear, Culture Costume, Talent, Evening Wear and Question and Answer.

The pageant is a collaborative effort of Xandar’s Coaching and Consulting Agency and Belle Entertainment.

        how about focusing on the environment? how many coins is it going to take to cover expenses of all these prizes and trips? donated or not? I see no focus on the earth but on themselves. Again...
        there is more input from an 8-yr-old in a poster then there is from these promoters. Live large is the message.

          by your comment you cast judgement on something you did not attend. These young ladies advocated all night on the lion fish epidemic going on here in the BVI and handed out flyers. So because you see a fashion show thats all it was get real and grow up. Attend an event they have and then cast your opinion/judgement.

            gee, my fault. I guess I missed the promotion of the environment. And if I did, then surely others did as well which means the promoters are not doing thier jobs.

    First of all I would love to give a well round of applause to all the young ladies that are doing a great job in going out there promoting good practices as i saw through out the weeks i have been in the Virgin Islands. Now to those who want to say "Oh, not another queen show" well I am very sorry to burst your bubble but with this competition the British Virgin Islands would be doing more good than harm. I as one who used to be that person who says pageants are for rich persons and you won't find me in any, but guess what after researching and finding out not only these young adults put in time and hard work just to look good on stage but it also helps build character in those who needed it the most. Being the reigning Miss Caribbean Queen 2012, I would love for you the public of the British Virgin Islands and United States Virgin Islands come out and support these young ladies in their Pageant. Also don't forget to head to the Mr. and Miss Caribbean Website www.mrandmisscaribbean.com to support our cause for this century. Tourism is very important to our Caribbean countries so join us and promote our countries in any event that we are having. Thank you.
