The six beauties, Miss Snwazna Adams, Miss Crystal Coleby, Miss Cortrina Cooper, Miss Vanessa Hall, Miss Tymant Dean and Miss Frenica Williams who are contending in one of the country's most exciting national traditions, were unveiled Monday, February 11th, at a ‘Meet the Press’ event hosted by Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages and Spa.

The Miss Turks and Caicos Universe Beauty Organization (MTCUBO) President, Mr. Kazz Forbes said, “Today we begin a new era of pageantry in the Turks and Caicos Islands. We welcome the business community to partner with us, the government to generously support us, and the public to cheer each of these beautiful young ladies as they stand at the threshold of a new chapter in their lives.”

Also bringing remarks was MTCUBO Vice President and Legal Advisor Mrs. Tremmaine Harvey, “Today, we are witnesses to dreams being realized, potential being fulfilled, and passions being pursued. Today begins that one moment in time for six beautiful young ladies vying for the title of Miss Turks and Caicos Universe when their dreams are a heartbeat away. It is our goal as an organization to produce a national titleholder from this batch of young ladies that is more than just a beautiful face and visually appealing.”

Speaking on behalf of the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board, Public Relations officer Mr. Dave Fennimore said, “Through this pageant, it’s going to be so wonderful for promoting the destination to the world. We look forward to the natural beauty that comes out of this; we look forward to the unveiling of the natural beauty that’s going to represent our beautiful by nature destination to the world.”

Over the past several weeks, the contestants have engaged in a rigorous schedule. Coaching sessions on confidence, elegance and poise, (sitting like a lady, making a first impression, entering a room, on stage training, feet positioning, hand movements, flirting with the camera), interviewing and presentation skills. The contestants have all benefited from a full makeover and image styling. Until the big night in April, there will be mandatory workshops on health, skincare and self-esteem. The six beauties will also participate in workout and fitness routines. All training sessions will continue to take place twice weekly for a minimum three hours, until the week before coronation night.

Other than awards and prizes, The Miss Turks and Caicos Universe 2013 titleholder will become affiliated with many organizations, such as RAPPORT and the Turks and Caicos AIDS Awareness Foundation, as a goodwill ambassador and spokesperson. As titleholder, Miss Turks and Caicos Universe 2013 will seek to be an inspiration to hundreds of youngsters who would wish to emulate her image of a well-spoken and well groomed personality. A successful Miss Turks and Caicos Universe will also play a major role in promoting her country, which like her, is beautiful by nature.

As the competition progresses, the Miss Turks and Caicos Universe Beauty Organization has facilitated an online voting ballot for the public to cast its vote for its favorite 2013 Miss Turks and Caicos Universe Contestant. Results will be announced on coronation night.
