And the winner is Annlyn Apolonio, Queen of the Jewel 2010-2011
Annlyn Apolonio
In the world of pageantry, the first ever Queen of the Jewel was held on Saturday night at the Bliss Centre for the Performing Arts. Ten young ladies representing different parts of the Jewel took to the stage to showcase beauty, talent and culture. There were five different categories on which the ladies were judged, including a texting segment. At the end of it all, Annlyn Apolonio representing Belize City’s Lake Independence area captured the hearts of the judges to claim first place. Dangriga’s Tyler Savery placed second in points and Cricel Castillo of Caribbean Shores rounded off the top three finishers, as the Masters of Ceremony made the announcements.

Pageant organizers say Apolonio will represent Belize at international pageants next year.
Go girl. So happy for her. She was born to do this. When she got Ms. UB she won hands down. Not sure for this one cause i am out of the country and did not get the chance to see the show, but thought she would rock it. congrats
The last minute decision to disqualify the text and preliminary points does not reflect well on the integrity of this pageant.
Congrats to the new Ms. Belize! I see you on the right path. First Ms. UB (I had the opportunity to perform at this pageant), then Ms. Belize and thereafter, Ms. Universe. Please keep reading and educating yourself to prepare you for the international competitions. Keep focused!
God Bless you.
