Miss Wob Dwiyet 2011

Miss South Zanya Elizee, of Grandbay, secured the title of Miss Wob Dwiyet 2011 last evening, beating out the other six contestants from all districts of Dominica.

The 19-year-old Economics major at the Dominica State College topped the Best Wob Dwiyet round of the competition and performed consistently throughout the other rounds to finish ahead of First Runner-up Shakira Pierre of Coulibstrie representing the West District and Ameka Cognette from Roseau representing the Southwest District.

She thanked prayer and an undeterred determination for her success when she said, “It was very hard and sometimes I would have to leave school and go to practice, but I just put my all into it, I started to pray a long time ago and I did it; I got it.”

“I am very excited due to the hard work that I have done. I just can’t explain the feelings,” she added.

Elizee has hopes to contest in the 2012 Miss Dominica Pageant and suggests that anyone looking to contest for the title of Miss Wob Dwiyet ensure that they have a lot of confidence, courage and family support.

Meantime, Second Runner-up Ameka Cognette admits that she was surprised at having placed, having known in her mind that she was not having the greatest evening, in terms of her performances, but was happy to have placed third, all the same.

She too currently attends the DSC majoring in Hospitality and Tourism has plans of entering the national pageant.

“I have already submitted a form for the national queen show, so hopefully if I am selected that will be my next big step so Dominica, look out for me,” she ended.

The other contestants were Dinelle Antoine from Dosdane representing the Northern District, Antonia Joseph from Boetica representing the Southeast District, Tenderly Francis of Marigot who represented the Northeast District, Aneille Thomas from Kalinago Territory representing the Eastern District.

The participants competed in three rounds: Talent, Creole Spectacular Costume and Wob Dwiyet, and the competition was accented with performances from Delices Cultural Group with the Petit Savanne Jing-Ping Band, the Waitukubuli Dance Theatre Company, Michelle Henderson, Daddy Chess and Swinging Stars, Golda Scotland-Andrew, Paix Bouche Bele Dancers and Miss Culture USA Kelly Thomas.

    I used to think that the essence of the Wob was the madras cloth, but things are changing to where any colorful piece of fabric will do. Very interesting.

    Good luck Ms South. Hope dept of culture treat you better than last year Ms Wob.All they want is to have numbers for competition and never invite the Ms Wob to function. I wonder wen they will realise that they need the girls to present something in patois as is done in TiMatador competition.
    By d way they never regards PAW for the work they doing promoting culture among the 8 – 10 year olds and u not listening to the children with their patois and korkois. Well done Jacinta and Regina. You all will be rewarded one day. I hear d PM say that culture have to be on the school curriculum, but all ah u dere promoting it among youth.

    This young lady is an example of what i would consider emergence from being a coy person to a confident and outspoken individual.
    It is because of this ‘growth’ that she was able to demonstrate her true talent.A talent which she has now embraced and is proud of.
    Congratulations Zayna.I wish you all the best as you strive for another prestigious crown but please remain focused in your school work.Education is primary!!!!
    Continue to believe in yourself.
    Most importantly, continue to find comfort in God.
    PROUD OF U!!!!

    Get your facts straight dno. Cognet did not place first runner-up according to your paragraph 2.
    Cognet has every right to say that she was surprised and not expecting because she really was not supposed to place.At least she is being honest. A slap in the judges face. By the way I don’t think all the judges were in a position to judge. I some some very inexperienced judges that i think knows nothing about judging a creaole show. Judges were not even introduced to the audience. Imagine that! By the way I did have Grandbay & Coulibistrie tied so I am satisfied with the first two positions
