Beauty pageant to scale back crowd
(CNS): The Miss Cayman Islands Universe Committee has said the COVID-19 outbreak has forced them to reduce crowd numbers for the pageant on Saturday night but fans can get a refund on tickets. The beauty contest will be live-streamed on social media as the event will only provide for an indoor seated audience at the Westin hotel of just 100 people, who will be asked to wear masks. 200 people will be allowed to be seated outside on the lawns, where the pageant will be broadcast live on large screens.
“We are saddened by this situation, however, it is important that we each do our part to stop community spread of this virus,” said Committee Chairperson Derri Dacres-Lee. “We do have a sold out event but we’ve had to change our protocols to adhere to the government’s new crowd limits. The committee takes this very seriously and we will ensure all standards and protocols are enforced.”
Those who will be indoors have already been contacted by members of the committee or the contestants, but those wanting to view the event from the Westin lawn should contact the committee to arrange a seat. The nine contestants will be making appearances outside, organisers said.
“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our nine intelligent contestants for their dedication and commitment leading up to the pageant, and to Mariah Tibbetts, our reigning queen, on a job well done over the past year,” added Dacres-Lee.
Anyone with a ticket who would like to attend the viewing outside should email misscaymaninfo@gmail.com
The pageant starts at 7:00pm,with cocktails at 5:30pm. The event will be streamed on CIGTV, the Miss Cayman Islands Universe Instagram page and other social media channels.

Are there any modesty requirements for the swim suit segment of the competition? I was taken aback by the thing style swimwear of the now reigning queen and at least one other contestant. Had the same response to pictures circulating of the recent parade. Things have changed in Cayman. Could not even walk the streets in a swimsuit before
There is already a private Miss Cayman pageant.
So then why is CIG squandering hundreds of thousands in cash annually while washed up civil servants globetrot as “chaperones”?
Time to weed the bush. Cayman is going broke!
Don’t knock it, those chicks are hot.
Okay sub-average Joe.

OMG! Those Ken Bryan appearances in those first two videos are cringeworthy (most of the latter half of the first video looks like men only South Beach party….).
Go to 1:51 of the first video for Ken’s intro, in of course, a pirates outfit.
This SXXT is gold!
Some things cannot be unseen. I hate my eyes for watching that! Not all of it you understand. Some of it….
Cancel all beauty contests. Should have been stopped from the time a full Jamaican, who had posed naked in a magazine, won and poor old Papie looked like he was going to have a heart attack because he had to sing your my Caymanian girl to her. Hard to find a Caymanian any longer.
Where is the Mr Cayman pageant?
The last such pageant the winner Kenneth Bryan, the current Minister for Tourism, place 4th and was 3rd place in the Talent Competition.
The best result of all pageant entries thus far on the international stage except Theresa Pitcairn (Lewis) Miss Cayman 1982 who won the personality titles at Miss Universe and Miss World and placed 8th Runner-Up in Miss World.
Kenneth won in the clown contest (also known as the election).
Where is the Mr Cayman pageant?
It’s only fair to have another pageant.
It’s about time this meat market was stopped altogether. And to get hundreds of people together at this time for such unnecessary nonsense is grossly irresponsible.
Why not really reduce crowd numbers and cancel it, forever!
just do bikini round and/or wet t-shirt contest…
event could be done and dusted in 25 mins.
complete waste of time and money.2021??? #metoo????
why do we even have this abomination of a ‘contest’?
“Beauty Pageant”. So ridiculous.
I really wanted to go to the meat market.
There are no new government crowd limits.
