The Virgin Islands is currently seeking an interested individual to sign up to represent the country at this year’s event.

According to a recent Facebook post by the pageant committee, the event is a celebration of confidence, curves, culture, and Caribbean pride. 

The Virgin Islands is hoping to confirm a delegate by February 14, and interested participants do not need pageant experience.
