TIME TO PUT THE RECORD RIGHT?
TO OPEN UP TO NEW COMMUNITIES?
OR TO KEEP THE TRADITION GOING?
There is an air of freshness about the contest.
It is not just that many of the recently-acquired trappings of pageantry have gone. The title has found its soul again. True to the old maxim that the more things change the more they stay the same, several of the apparent innovations are essentially a return to the features of the contest in its “Golden Age”.
Will Fatna make it a first victory for Morocco ?
Could Asia be the first winner from Asia since Michelle Ward in 1991?
Take the “new” interest from the Middle Eastern / Asian communities as seen by the entry of Fatna from Morocco and Asia from Pakistan. Will there be more? “I hope so” says promoter Clayton Goodwin who is keen that the term “Commonwealth” should be comprehensive. The high-water of Asian involvement co-incided with the election of Michelle Ward, the only title-holder to come from a direct Asian community, in 1991. Even so Asian heritage contestants from the Caribbean have continued to do well as was seen by Karol Rajoo from Trinidad & Tobago ascending to the crown in 2009.
Jernita wants to go one-better for Dominica since Eartha Burke runner-up in 1986?
Shirley wants to improve on the position of deputy Debra Day in 1982?
Jazzmin intends to go one place higher for Sierra Leone than Ruth Block in 1988
Rosie (left) and Barbara (right) intend to build on the Ugandan success achieved by Esta Lumutenga and Gloria Nsubuga in 2006 and 2009 respectively.
Dominica, Guyana and Sierra Leone, none of which community has produced a winner, have waited a very long time – back to the 1980s in fact – since their only deputy title-holder was chosen. Maybe it is time to put the record right. Jernita, Shirley and Jazzmine think that it is. Uganda doesn’t have to wait quite so long. Rosie and Barbara are following in the steps of two compatriots who achieved second place in the last few years.
Nicole (top) and Bernice (bottom) have high hopes of adding their names to a long tradition of Jamaican and Ghanaian winners.
Nicole of Jamaica and Bernice of Ghana come from two of the three communities with the best record in the contest. Jamaicans dominated the title in its early days and for a long time in its middle years, while Ghana and Trinidad & Tobago have had a long and successful recent rivalry.
Will La Toya make it two winners in succession for St Lucia - following present title-holder Curmiah St Catherine?
