The Miss Renaissance Pageant is here again and it’s time for Melissa Dow-Richardson, who won in 2015 to give up the crown.

Miss Renaissance Guyana was founded in 2003 by Negla Brandis. The pageant had initially started out as an annual one but because of sponsorship it is now being held every two years.

The pageant specifically caters for women over 30 and the focus this year is to highlight and address the various issues affecting senior citizens in Guyana.
