Jamaican Shamique Simms is Caribbean’s Next Top Model (2017)
The Caribbean’s Next Top Model for 2017 is none other than Jamaica’s Shamique Simms.
Simms, standing at 5 foot 9 won the hearts of the judges in the regional televised reality show with her natural beauty and grace.
The finale took place on Monday – April 3, ending in fairly dramatic fashion, as two contestants tied for second place – Nkechi Vaughn of Guyana and Samantha West from Trinidad.
In addition to being named the Caribbean’s Next Top Model, Shamique was has also been awarded US$25,000 in cash; an international modelling agency contract with Mint Model Management, NY; a cover feature and editorial spread in SHE Caribbean magazine; and the latest generation iPhone from Flow.
The show’s co-executive producer, host, judge and former Miss Universe Wendy Fitzwilliam offered kind words for Simms:
“Shamique competed amongst our toughest field of aspiring models yet, and always maintained her focus throughout the competition. More than any other participant, Shamique entered the competition with a clear understanding of what is required of her in the modelling industry. She consistently grew throughout the competition and it is this combination of preparedness and dogged perseverance with respect to her diet, fitness, mental strength and positive outlook that gave this chocolate beauty, as she was fondly called by her fellow models, the edge.”
