Cayman’s Imperial Beauties win big

Several Caymanian beauties recently won big at the World's Imperial Beauties International Competition in Orlando, Florida.

The Cayman Islands Imperial Beauties Scholarship Pageant is a formal preliminary franchise pageant of the Imperial Beauties of the World Organization in conjunction with the Imperial Beauties of America Scholarship Pageant founded four (4) years ago.

According to a press statement, the Cayman Islands Imperial Beauties Scholarship Pageant is more than a beauty pageant, it is a pageant designed to transform, develop and motivate each contestant. The pageant will focus on educational accomplishments, community involvement, integrity, talent, and self-confidence. It will also focus on developing young girls and ladies to be future leaders within their country.

The Cayman Islands Imperial Beauties Scholarship Pageant, in its 2nd year, traveled to the World's Imperial Beauties International Competition held on July 20 – 23 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Orlando International Airport with 9 delegates which included 4 Queens from the 2016 inaugural year.

Daniella Forbes, Shantina Barnes, Jaida Archer, Nerissa McLaughlin, Japhia Loval Linwood, Brianna Livingston, Ciarra Henriques, Kayla Harris, and Zariah Linwood after meeting 1 on 1 with the judges, took the stage in International/Fun Fashion and Evening Gown in their respective age division where they competed against some 75+ delegates from Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Poland, Ireland and all over the United States to name a few.

Despite the fierce competition, Team Cayman walked away with several prizes, placements and 2 World titles in addition to Shantina, Brianna and Zariah receiving academic, volunteer service and national appearance recognition.

As with World Imperial Beauties, Cayman Islands Imperial Beauties strive to promote the values of good self-esteem and self-confidence in young girls and women ages 4 years and older. The pageant encourages participants to dream big and gives them the tools and opportunities needed to achieve their goals.
