Reigning Miss Guyana Teen Scholar Devya Singh will crown a new queen at the Miss Guyana Teen Scholarship virtual pageant that will be hosted live tonight.

There was no pageant last year because of the pandemic, so the 2019 outgoing queen is crowning her successor two years after the inaugural pageant.

The eight contestants participating in tonight’s event, competed last year at a digital university coordinated by the pageant’s committee. The contestants are Anasie Fredericks, Jordana Adams, Kayla King, Kristie Kissoon, Kriston Smith, Sephora Persaud, Shequana Holder, and Teija Edwards. Kriston finished at the top of last year’s digital university programme and was presented with a cash grant of $75,000, twenty percent of which she was required to donate to a charitable cause.
