Sixteen semi-finalists were yesterday selected to participate in the Miss Universe Jamaica pageant. The elimination process, which took place at the AC Hotel Kingston, saw 21 hopefuls — from a field of more than 70 who applied — reduced to 16. These 16 semi-finalists also include the five regional queens.

However, after another elimination round, which will be done on October 2, only 10 will go through to the finals, which is scheduled to be held virtually on October 30.
Mark McDermoth, national director of Miss Universe Jamaica, said the novel coronavirus pandemic has affected sponsorship for this year's staging of the pageant.
“It's another pandemic year for us and so we are having to do things differently. It's a challenge. The biggest challenge is not having sponsors on board because everyone's feeling the pinch of the pandemic. And so you are now having to be creative more than ever,” said McDermoth. MORE
