18-year-old crowned Miss Guyana World After stiff competition, 18-year-old Jasmine Herzog, delegate Number Seven of the Miss Guyana World 2005 pageant, was crowned the new Miss Guyana World on Saturday evening last at the grand finale at the Le Meridien Pegasus.

Delegate Number One, Ulex Atwell, was the first runner-up; Delegate Number Six, Mikieda Franklin, was the second runner-up; Delegate Number Three, Dacia Blackmore, was the third runner-up; and delegate Number Eight, Meleesa Payne, the fourth runner-up.

Mikieda Franklin was voted Miss Internet and Miss Congeniality; Ulex Atwell, Miss Photogenic, Miss Sasha Face and Miss Body Beautiful; Ginesta David, Best Smile; and Jasmine Herzog, Best Hair.

Despite the delayed start the evening's competition began with the nine delegates - Ulex Atwell , Dacia Blackmore, Mikieda Franklin, Jasmine Herzog, Melessa Payne, Carlotta Primo, Reene Chester, Latoya Bailey and Genista David strutting their stuff in two-piece swim suites.

That opening sequence was followed by John "Slingshot" Drepaul, who preformed two of his most popular tunes, "Lazy" and "Golden locket".

He then made way for the delegates who once again graced the stage, this time showcasing their evening gowns. Then the final five contestants, Ulex Atwell , Dacia Blackmore, Mikieda Franklin, Jasmine Herzog and Melessa Payne emerged after this sequence.

They were to answer what was described as the final questions. Herzog's response to her question earned her enough points to walk away with the crown. She was crowned and sashed by Miss Guyana World 2004, Suzette Shim.
