The public is being urged to support Antigua and Barbuda makeup artist Charity Henry as she competes at the BTA 8th Annual Miss International Elegant Mothers Pageant 2026 in Saint Maarten/Saint Martin.

Henry, a mother of two, is not only vying for the main title but is also in the running for the Miss Social Media 2026 crown, a category that could prove pivotal to her overall success.

Public votes, submitted through likes on her official pageant photograph featuring herself and her daughter, will determine the winner of this special award.

The stakes are high: the Miss Social Media winner receives an additional 10 points added to their final score on Coronation Night, making community engagement a critical component of the competition strategy.

In 2017, Henry claimed the Miss Teenage title while representing All Saints Secondary School. Five years later, she was crowned Miss Labour Queen 2022, representing Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the Saint John’s City West constituency.

Members of the public wishing to support Henry’s campaign can do so by visiting the Miss International Elegant Mothers Pageant page on social media and liking her official competition photo.
