Miss Lisha Beache, first runner-up in the 2024 Miss SVG pageant, will represent Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the inaugural Miss Caribbean Beauty and Intelligence Pageant, to be held in Guyana.

Speaking to One News SVG on 14 August, Ms Beache shared her thoughts on representing the country, as well as her expectations and goals ahead of the pageant.
“I am absolutely thrilled to represent Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. As it is the inaugural staging of this pageant, preparation has been intense, but I am committed to delivering a performance that is authentic and unique,” Ms. Beache said.
“I must also express how deeply grateful I am to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Their encouragement, whether through words, actions, or financial contributions has been invaluable and has played a significant role in bringing me to this moment,” Ms. Beache added.
The other seven contestants are: Arliesha Carjahn Paul, 21, representing the US Virgin Islands; Tineka Francois, 23, representing Trinidad and Tobago; Kimberly Kersting, 23, representing Suriname; Nasheka Bryan, 26, representing Saint Martin (both the French and Dutch sides under the Unity Flag); Tytheon Jones, 18, representing Guyana; Simone Williams, 23, representing Barbados; and Alyah Mitchel, 21, representing Saint Lucia.
