Reigning Miss Guyana Culture Arian Dahlia Richmond will represent Guyana in the first ever Miss Emerald, a virtual pageant that will highlight the preservation and protection of indigenous cultures around the world.
Some 25 countries have entered participants in the Miss Emerald Pageant, for which the winner will receive a crown made from of real emeralds, US$9,000 and the chance for an indigenous community in their country to benefit from this after the pandemic.
Arian, who was Miss Bartica Regatta 2018, also finished as first runner-up at the Miss Caribbean Culture Pageant last year in St Kitts.
