Freeport, Grand Bahama - On Sunday, March 11th, 2018, the Miss World Grand Bahama District Committee held its inaugural Miss World Grand Bahama Beauty Pageant under the theme, “Crowned with Grace… Gems of Grand Bahama” at the Grand Lucayan Resort.
The beauty pageant was a first for the newly formed committee, which is headed by District Director, Brooke Grant, under the Miss Bahamas Organization.
The event showcased four stunning contestants who competed in swimsuit, evening gown, judges interview and Q&A segments, which all weighed in on the final outcome to determine the winner and runners up.

Capturing the crown, best judges interview and best in evening gown at the inaugural event was 23 year old, Serena Greene, followed by 1st runner up - 17 year old Caitlyn Walker who also won the popularity award, 2nd runner up - 19 year old, Destiny McPhee, who secured the best in swimsuit and 3rd runner up – 19 year old Ashley Colebrooke.
Brooke Grant shared that “For the past 12 months, my committee, lead locally by Co-chair, Mrs. Faye Beneby, and I have worked tirelessly to create a program and a sub-culture within the pageant community to showcase the natural beauties that make this island the grand place that we all know it to be.”
“We are excited to have had such a stunning representative at last year’s national pageant and are very confident in what our newly crowned representative, Serena Greene, will bring to the big stage” said Grant.
When asked about her experience in the Miss World Grand Bahama Beauty Pageant, Greene said, “It was incredible!”

“I went into the pageant not knowing anyone and feeling shy, however this process helped me to see that beauty comes in all forms and I appreciate that because I was able to see not only the beauty within myself but in others a well”, said Greene.
Speaking from her personal experience, Greene said that she would strongly recommend that more young women enter the competition next year, as it is an experience that can greatly compliment who you are as an individual.
She added that, “I went into the competition wanting to fulfill a dream and gain a better understanding of myself, which I was able to achieve.”
According to Grant, with the competition serving as an official preliminary to the Miss Bahamas 2018 Beauty Pageant in New Providence, it was important for the organization to give promising young ladies the opportunity to fairly compete and present their platforms to a diverse selection of judges from fields including, pageantry, marketing, branding, fitness, fashion and beauty to determine who would be the strongest competitor at the national level.
Greene shared that it is important for her to be a positive influence to all Bahamians, especially young women.

Her platform is Youth Leadership Development & Empowerment and with this she expressed that volunteerism is a huge area of importance for her in accomplishing this effort.
Presently Greene volunteers with the Save the Bays organization, St. Paul’s Methodist College and St. George’s High School, where she assists students to bringing out the leaders within themselves while helping them to chart the course to good success within their future careers.
