Search for Miss Marianas 2021 begins  

Stellar Marianas, the islands’ nonprofit pageant and talent group, announced yesterday its 2021 Miss Marianas Pageant slated for this March and is inviting eligible young women across the CNMI to help their community by becoming a positive role model and ambassador to the world.

Stellar Marianas is encouraging 18-27 year-old qualified contestants to join the islands’ premier pageant and international competition by picking up an application at Pena House Boutique in Chalan Kanoa, Pacifica Insurance in Susupe, or by downloading an application from www.facebook.com/stellarmarianas or emailing stellarqueens@gmail.com.

“This coming year, we are celebrating 45 years of pageantry in the Marianas, so we are going to come out strong and honor the achievements and progress our women have made over the years, a very larger than life experience,” said national director Jaki Fujihira.

Stellar Marianas is also inviting the community to tag or post photos of who they think should be the next Miss Marianas with the hashtag #nextmissmarianas on Instagram or Facebook.

Rehearsals and preparation will begin soon and the deadline to turn in applications is on or before Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020.
