The eight contestants of the Miss Guyana Universe pageant received their sponsorship sashes last Saturday evening. The ceremony was held at the Pegasus Hotel pool- side, where the delegates were sashed by representatives of their sponsors.
Delegate number one, Carlea Chappelle, 19, is sponsored by NABI Constructions while delegate number two, Kenwah Cho Quan Yi, 25, is sponsored by Muzik Club in Canada.
Delegate number three Tiffanie Nieuenkirk, 21, is sponsored by Canadian Jason Schwars while delegate number four Shyon Hoppie, 18, is sponsored by Shalinsky & Co.
Rainbow Fashions is the proud sponsor of delegate number five Ayana Whitehead, 18, while Red Earth Crystal Clear Waters is sponsoring delegate number six, Carla Browne, 19.
Meanwhile, delegate number seven, Katherina Roshana, is proudly sponsored by the NEW GPC INC under its Limacol brand and delegate number eight, Alicia Best, 23, is being taken care by AU Drilling Inc.
In an interview with Guyana Times International, Roshana, who is also the reigning Miss Guyana India Worldwide queen, said she is privileged to be sponsored by a household brand such as Limacol.
The vibrant young lady said she will be representing the brand to her best come October 6, and is encouraging Guyanese to go out and support the pageant.
She noted that the contestants have been working hard in preparation for the final moment.
NEW GPC Marketing Manager Trevor Bassoo said the company is proud to once again be part of the pageant.
New GPC was involved in the Miss India Worldwide 2012 pageant and the delegate it sponsored won.
“We have high hopes and confidence in Miss Roshana. We strongly believe she will come out victorious in this competition and go on to represent Guyana and Limacol internationally,” he said.
The NEW GPC INC representative noted that Limacol has been associated with coolness and freshness; hence, with the support of Limacol, Roshana will be the “coolest” delegate in the competition and is bound to emerge victorious.
