Gabriella Chapman two Sundays ago bested seven other beauties to be crowned Miss Bartica Regatta 2017 Pageant. The 21-year-old University of Guyana student is no stranger to pageantry and won the judges over with her intelligence, experience, beauty and charisma.
In an interview with The Scene, Gabby, as she is fondly called, shared her journey through the pageant and also about the life that led her to being crowned a queen.
According to the new queen, the lead up to the grand night saw the ladies competing at preliminaries: intelligence and costume extravaganza. The contestants, aware that the two contestants to garner the most points in these two categories would have automatically entered into the top three, faced off in an effort to cop the top spots. Gabby was confident after hearing the answers of her competitors during the intelligence segment that she had won that segment and believed she had won a place in the top spot although she was forced await the results until pageant night.
