The Windsor Park Sports Stadium will transform into a vibrant showcase of emerging talent this Sunday as the Waitukubuli Dance Theatre Company presents the 47th Miss Teen Dominica Pageant. Five distinguished contestants from across the island nation will compete for the coveted 2026 title in an evening celebrating youth excellence and cultural heritage.
This year’s competition features an impressive roster of academically accomplished young women: Jeffrine Joseph (Castle Bruce Secondary School), Joyette Carbon (Portsmouth Secondary School), Janice Williams (Goodwill Secondary School), Marina Jno Baptiste (Operation Youth Quake), and Ladira Dyer (Isaiah Thomas Secondary School). Each contestant arrives with substantial community backing, featuring sponsorship support from prominent national institutions including the National Cooperative Credit Union, Springfield Trading, and Archipelago Trading.
The pageant will employ a comprehensive judging system across five distinct performance categories: Promotional Speech, Talent Showcase, Creative Costume presentation, Evening Wear evaluation, and a critical Question & Answer segment. Beyond the competitive proceedings, attendees will be treated to special performances by reigning Calypso Monarch Joy, Janae Jackson, alongside finalists Nachel and Redz. The entertainment lineup further includes appearances by the Junior Calypso Monarch, Junior Bouyon Monarch, and cultural presentations by the Waitukubuli Dancers, Bwa Bwa, and the Mahaut Sensay troupe.
Organizers have positioned the event as a centerpiece of Dominica’s Carnival celebrations, promising an immersive experience that blends traditional pageantry with contemporary entertainment. For those unable to attend physically, a pay-per-view streaming option will be available through the Kairi FM and DBS Facebook platforms. Tickets remain available for purchase at Depex and Bulls Eye Pharmacy locations throughout the island.
With primary sponsorship provided by A.C. Shillingford & Co. Ltd., the 2026 edition continues the pageant’s nearly five-decade tradition of highlighting the intellectual, artistic, and cultural achievements of Dominica’s youth population.
