Miss BVI 2025 Donyelle Hodge will travel to Dominica to represent the British Virgin Islands at the Miss OECS pageant on January 30, 2026. The regional contest brings together delegates from across the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, and Hodge will face representatives from Antigua, Anguilla, St.

According to the organisers, the competition will include five segments, with highlights that include a talent presentation and the decisive question-and-answer round. The format gives contestants several opportunities to showcase personal skills, cultural expression and public speaking — key elements that often determine the final placements in regional pageants.

For BVI residents, Hodge’s participation is more than a personal achievement: it is a chance to put the Territory on a regional stage. Pageants like Miss OECS offer a platform for cultural exchange and can help spotlight local talent, heritage and tourism potential. Community support can raise the profile of our contestant and the causes she represents.

Organisers have not yet released full details on broadcast or streaming availability. Residents who want to follow the competition are advised to monitor official Miss BVI social media channels and the organisers of Miss OECS for updates on live streams, viewing times and result announcements.

Local media outlets may also carry coverage leading up to and following the event. The Miss OECS pageant often draws attention from regional audiences and can create short-term promotional opportunities for participants’ home territories. For the BVI, a strong showing by Hodge could translate into increased interest in our culture and community projects, and inspire young people interested in public platforms and service.

As the Territory awaits the January 30 event, supporters are encouraged to show their backing through social media, community gatherings and messages of encouragement to Miss BVI. Results and further coverage will be published as they become available; check official Miss BVI channels and local news outlets for the latest information.
