Former Miss Guyana Universe contestant 23-year-old Ayanna Harris was last Friday evening crowned Miss Guyana Jamzone 2012 at the National Cultural Centre.
The third-year business management student at the University of Guyana captured the hearts of the audience who were the judges during Friday evening’s competition.

Harris said she will put her best foot forward in representing Guyana on the international stage, while vowing to continue promoting the rich cultural diversity of Guyana. She also plans to market Guyana focusing its immense flora and fauna and more so its hospitable people.
The three finalists were judged on their dramatic poetry presentations and evening gowns. The crowning of the queen comes after three months of rigorous competition from an initial field of 12 delegates. As the competition intensified, delegates were eliminated based on their performances in various segments including swimwear and fantasy photo shoot.
Making it to the finishing line were Harris, 19-year-old former Miss Corriverton Faydeha King and Laketa McPhoy of Linden who were the three most suitable contestants to vie for the coveted title.
The first runner-up spot was awarded to King, while the second runner-up was Mc Phoy, a first-year tourism student at the University of Guyana. Harris, the newly crowned queen, will be competing with delegates from across the Caribbean for the Miss Jamzone International Pageant slated for late August at Splashmins Fun Park and Resort.
During the night’s proceedings, Miss Guyana Jamzone 2011 Jovan Wilson recollected the experiences of her one-year reign and encouraged her successor to use the opportunity to be a voice for the people.
Wilson, who crowned the new queen, related that the pageant has given her the courage to be a good public speaker. As the queen, she was a part of fundraising efforts to send a young child to Trinidad and Tobago for surgery on a brain tumour, something that she is proud of despite the passing of the child.
