Dominica has a new Madam Wob Dwiyet.

Gwenneth Lazare of Grand Fond captured that title at a competition held at the Arawak House of Culture on Thursday night where she outshined four other contestants.

She also copped the awards for Best Performing Talent and Best in Wob.

Shortly after her win, she told the media that she was happy to have won that title and thanked God, her children, tutor and the Dominican public for their support.

The first runner-up position went to Seraphine Joseph of Kingshill, while the second runner-up spot was captured by Cylma Cuffy of Pottersville.

Other contestants were; Claudette McIntyre of Trafalgar and Jacqueline Alexander of Grand Bay.

Acting Chief Cultural Officer, Jacinta David said the show went very well and the ladies were very impressive.

“The Wob Dwiyet was no exception, they carried their Wob Dwiyet with a lot of glam, they were very expressive and they were beautiful,” David said. “It is always a pleasure working with them.”

The Madam Wob Dwiyet show is said to be a very popular and highly entertaining event especially the talent round.

There were special appearances by the reigning Miss Wob Dwiyet, Merlyjah Benjamin and Miss Wob Dwiyet USA, Miss Zadshire Dupuis.

The show featured performances by Ophelia, Michele Henderson, Petite Savanne Cultural Group,W aitukubuli Dance Theatre Company, Sonia Lloyd and Paix Bouche Drummers.

The show is presented by the Division of Culture and the National Cultural Council.

Last year’s Madam Wob Dwiyet title was won by Veronique Nicholas of Newtown.
