Seven young ladies will take to the stage to compete in the first ever Miss Dominica Caribbean Talented Teen pageant at the Arawak House of Culture on September 7.
The purpose of the show is to select Dominica’s representative for the 34th Annual Haynes Smith Miss Caribbean Talented Teen pageant to be held in St. Kitts in December 2013.
All young ladies are between the ages of 13 and 18.
The participants for the show are:
Joanna Faustin of Fond Cole,
Mackesha Alexander of Dublanc, Aniel pPacquette of Grand Bay, Tonilia Eli of Castle Comfort, Mernel Christmas of Campbell and
Le’Crecia Wallace and Jasmine Laville of Portsmouth
The first round of the competition, which is the interview segment, will be carried live on Marpin TV on Thursday 29th August from 8:30 p.m. and will be hosted by Kamala Jno. Baptiste Aaron.
Coordinator Jacinta David, said funds raised from the event will go towards ensuring Dominica’s participation at the regional show.
She said patrons should expect the same high standard of the other shows like the Annual Ti Matador Creole pageant, produced by the Performing Arts Workshop.
A number of exciting young artists are expected to put on guest performances at the show.
The event has already attracted sponsorship from the following companies: DBS Radio, Marpin 2K4, Big Edge Financial Express, Precious Parlour, Instyle Boutique and LIME.
The show will begin at 7:00 pm.
i always knew jasmine would hav won she had no competition
Romulus u better win
Good luck to tonilia Eli!!!!!
Mernel will do it again no might about it
its amazing how Dominican ladies think..know wonder our girls are on the streets..be proud of these beautiful young ladies and our reigning teen winner..at least they spent their entire vacation in dominica trying to make parents,schools,community have
a sense of hope..whatever the outcome I will be there cheering for these young ladies..Dominica got talent…mwaaaah…
If I were Miss Teen Dominica, I would also opt out of competing on the principle that I had already proved myself worthy by winning Miss Teen Dominica in the first place!
Yes it is understandable that auditions are taking place in the other Caribbean islands, but could some agreement not be come to as regards islands that already have a Teen Queen?
For those of you who don’t know the final show will be held in St. Kitts. This show is only an audition to select the Dominican representative. Similar shows are being held in every Caribbean Island who is going to participate. Yes the ideal is to send our reigning miss teen but the requirement from then St. kitts organization stated every eligible girl between 13 and 18 get a chance to audition and hence represent their island is they emerge winner. Our miss teen opted not to participate. Good luck to the young ladies.
congrat young ladies, go out and represent your self and your country well
This is very SAD. Miss Teen Dominica 2013 should be our representative.
the regional show is some serious business and at a much higher level than MISS TEEN DOMINICA.I can tell this because my cousin SHEVON PHIPPS won the show in 2011. the girls from the other countries take this very seriously and their standard is top notch. if you don,t believe me you can check out the website at miss haynes smith caribbean talented teen.com. miss teen dominica 2013 would definitly be a good choice to represent the country in my own perspective, not saying the other girls won`t do a good job , but what i have seen from her from the show, she`s definitly a talented teen. ALSO be sure to check out facebook and youtube to see how the regional show really fuctions, like their type of evening wears and question and answer segments: very intense by the way. GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNER AND MAY THE BEST TALENTED TEEN WINS.
Good luck to all the girls. That must help their self esteem and confidence.
the miss teen dominica 2013 should be the representative. why another show? miss david please clarify.
Best he doh come, helpers of miss red show yet to get a tip. Mrs jno baptiste Aaron where d money gone. And you still in dis one d/cans mad
Dominica have more queens than the rest of the world. Every minute there is another one, I’m bored.
13 to 18 is quite a spread. Why not 13-16?
Why name the pageant ‘Miss Dominica Caribbean Talented Teen pageant’? Wouldn’t ‘Miss Dominica Talented Teen pageant’ make more sense since all the participants come from Dominica anyway? Before I read the article, I assumed that other Caribbean islands were also participating based on the name of the pageant.
So why do the other countries have i.e Ms Antigua World? Ms Antigua Universe? This is to show that this pageant is specific to the Ms Caribbean Teen held in SKN. Ms Teen Dominica would have to audition to represent DA.
It is clear that the only thing Dominican women are capable of is being on stage in a pageant, displaying their “talents”. Clearly a waste of this youthful energy.
what BULL!!!!!
hope they wont be allowed to wear swim suit
will the pm be at that show to crown the winner and if he is coming more people will attend.
hope the organizers invite him.
Oh please that is very immature of you, every thing is a division set of low minded people, where is that comment leading up to yes the pm will be there and yes he will bring alot of people becuz he is there.
you have my vote miss campbell.
GOOD LUCK TO THE POSSI GIRLZ. WE BELIEVE IN YOU
What is wrong with the reigning Miss Teen 2013.
So sorry that this is the year that DA is deciding to participate as another Dominican whom I expect to walk away with the crown will be representing St Kitts on that night. Pernelle Abraham who is beautiful, talented, bright, dear to my heart and simply a model teenager is my pick on that night. Nonetheless, I wish the Dominican representative the best of luck.
I have seen Pernelle in action. Dominica’s rep has her work cut out. However what difference would it make when records show that ST Kitts has been totally dominating. Let’s just say Dominica will be one and two this year providing that the best Teen is selected to represent.
hmmm though this is a great opportunity, isnt the Annual Haynes Smith Miss caribbean talented teen suppose to be represented by the reigning miss teen dominica ?
no swim wear I hope
will the pm be at the show
Why another show when Miss Teen Dominica could represent???????
I think it is a waste of resources
its a complete different organisation doing this show from the normal miss teen dominica
The organizers probably felt that it would have been a waste of resources either way, so they prefer to gamble with a new rep?
