Miss World T&T Pageant co-di­rec­tor Navin Bood­hai is call­ing on cit­i­zens to sup­port An­na-Lise Nan­ton, T&T’s rep­re­sen­ta­tive for the Miss World com­pe­ti­tion, cur­rent­ly tak­ing place in In­dia.

Nan­ton has al­ready se­cured a po­si­tion in the quar­ter-fi­nals of the com­pe­ti­tion with her win in the fast-track Head-to-Head Chal­lenge. She al­so placed in the Sports and Tal­ent cat­e­gories.

Bood­hai called for cit­i­zens to help Nan­ton’s progress via the Miss World app.

The Miss World App al­lows the pub­lic to play a vi­tal role in sup­port­ing our na­tion­al del­e­gate, said Bood­hai.

“Your votes, likes, and shares di­rect­ly af­fect how far our queen can go in this pres­ti­gious event,” he said.

“Her over­all mul­ti­me­dia pres­ence is eval­u­at­ed and scored, form­ing part of her scores, to take her in­to the top 20.

“The Miss World Fran­chise Team is work­ing hard be­hind the scenes, and the mes­sage is clear: it’s time for Trinidad and To­ba­go to show up and ral­ly be­hind her.”

In Miss World, there is a sig­nif­i­cant part of the com­pe­ti­tion called the “one-on-one” in­ter­view with the judges, where con­tes­tants are judged on their per­son­al­i­ty and elo­quence.

The in­ter­view is a key com­po­nent of the pageant, al­low­ing the judges to as­sess each con­tes­tant’s abil­i­ty to ar­tic­u­late their thoughts and show­case their poise.

“As An­na-Lise pre­pares for her one-on-one in­ter­views with the judges to­day, this is a cru­cial mo­ment,” added Bood­hai.

“They’ll be get­ting to know the woman be­hind the crown, and in do­ing so, they’ll al­so get to know T&T: our re­silience, our cul­ture, and our voice.”

From over 108 con­tes­tants, on­ly ten from each con­ti­nen­tal re­gion will ad­vance to the quar­ter­fi­nals, and Nan­ton is al­ready one of them.

The judges will se­lect the top five from each re­gion.

That top five will be nar­rowed down to a top two per re­gion, mean­ing each re­gion will have a win­ner and a run­ner-up.

The top two from each re­gion will then com­pete head-to-head, af­ter which the judges will re­veal the con­ti­nen­tal win­ners and the over­all top four.

Fi­nal­ly, one out­stand­ing woman will be crowned Miss World 2025.

The Miss World 2025 grand fi­nale will take place at Hy­der­abad’s HI­TEX on Sat­ur­day, show­cas­ing Telan­gana’s cul­ture and tal­ent.

The pro­ceed­ings can be viewed on CNC3 this Sat­ur­day from 9 am.
