Despite not securing a top three position at the Miss Caribbean Culture Queen Pageant, Antigua and Barbuda’s Queen of Carnival, Kia Kirwan, made her island proud with a remarkable showing.

Kirwan’s team expressed pride in her performance, highlighting her dedication and commitment to representing Antigua and Barbuda on such a prestigious stage.

In a standout moment, Kirwan excelled in the Best in Swimwear segment, taking home a notable award during the event held last night in Nevis.

    Had they crown the one that was supposed to be crown on the night of the local queen show, Antigua would have stand a chance, but she won because of her title, that’s Antigua, but it doesn’t work that way when it’s real judging

    Well done good effort. Unfortunately if Antigua really want to shine on the world stage we need to pick stronger candidates on the local heats and give them every support then to progress
