 St. Lucia's contestant for Miss World 2021 has been formally announced. Miss Tyler Theofan emerged the winner in a closed audition among a bevy of St. Lucia's beauty queen contenders back in May. Now, licensed holder for the Miss World franchise on Island, Events Company of St. Lucia, is ready to officially reveal their contestant for Miss World 2021. Lorraine Sidoni is the chief executive officer. We're here to really introduce Tyler to let St. Lucia know who's going to be representing us at Miss World. And that's happening December 16th, Puerto Rico, actually. And Tyler was selected on the 23rd of May. We had an audition. We had five beautiful talented young ladies auditioning to represent St. Lucia at the Miss World Competition come later this year. And those young ladies, they showcase their talent, their skills had been interviewed, their communication skills, their poise, their charitable work. So it was a very, very... It was an audition of a very high standard. And Tyler was able to win. And she is now going to be representing us come December. It does bring a lot of joy to our hearts to know that I got the opportunity to represent my people and my country on such a large platform, such a large stage, to just basically bring back the culture, help network our country, basically sell our country and come back and just provide as much charitable resources as I possibly can. Theofan will spend the next six months in a training and development program involving multiple stakeholder agencies to prepare her for the Miss World stage in December. She shared her other intentions for participating in the pageant aside from winning the crown. I have a great interest in assisting youth, the underprivileged youth, and also just assisting them in terms of finding recreational activities for them, providing them with educational support and with the opportunity to be an ambassador for St. Lucia at Miss World. Of course, when I do win that title, there is great opportunity for St. Lucia, for our people to definitely gain from those resources that they're willing to provide to us. Of course, I will not only sit back and allow them to be involved in providing those resources, but I will also utilize the different resources that I would be getting from, for example, our sponsors, the persons who are willing to support throughout my journey. Events company CEO Ms. Sidani says while this year's talent search was inhibited by COVID-19 protocols, the organization hopes to roll out its Miss World program in its full intended format next year. Our vision, Jesse, is for us to have a Miss St. Lucia show but to work up from the community level. So, I mean, if I were to map it out in terms of timing, we see, say, November this year, we start to work with the various communities and districts for them to have their individual pageants so that they can send a representative to Miss St. Lucia and we have a proper Miss St. Lucia queen show as we've done with the Carnival queen show, now rebranded to Miss St. Lucia. And then the winner from that show will obviously be our representative for Miss World next year. So, once things can go back to some degree of normalcy, that would be their approach. Events company of St. Lucia Inc. thanks all the participants who took part in the Miss St. Lucia World 2021 audition process and congratulates the national winner, Miss Tyler Theofan.
