Theodore Elyett’s Miss Teen Bahamas Organization, while only 6 years old, is the most successful pageant in the history of The Bahamas.  Since our inception in 2005, we have touched the lives of almost 100 contestants, crowning 12 queens; 6 of whom have gone on to win international titles- a feat achieved by no other pageant organization in The Bahamas! 

Regarded as the “Miss Universe” of teen pageants in the country, we are certain that our program definitely molds teen ambassadors who understand that beauty is more than a crown and a sash- that it encompasses reaching out to touch the lives of other teens, by being a positive example for them to emulate.

The program which officially begins in June provides our contestants with over two (2) months of educational seminars, stage deportment training, question and answer techniques, personal grooming, etiquette and speech seminars, community service initiatives and so much more.  Apart from the grand finale, contestants will compete in a myriad of other competitions such as: spokes model and queen of the catwalk, talent, evening gown and a Toastmaster’s speech competition.

The historic 6th annual Theodore Elyett's Miss. Teen Bahamas® Beauty Pageant is slated for August 14th 2011.  At the end of our spectacular night's showcase, one lucky young lady will walk away with over $5,000.00 in cash and prizes, the chance to represent her country internationally.
