About Us  

​MCUK was created to celebrate and promote all the Caribbean countries under one umbrella. The event uses an annual pageant to promote, educate, inspire and celebrate the historical and cultural impact of the Caribbean diaspora within the United Kingdom. The event honors the beauty, creativity and intellect of Caribbean women in an exciting pageant finale to be held in London on 25th November 2017.

​

Ultimately and importantly, the pageant seeks to place a greater emphasis, not just on “a pretty face”, but on a young woman who is able to demonstrate evidence of a far more holistic image of beauty - poise, personality, confidence, grace, self-worth, knowledge and a personal drive to achieve her ambitions. She would possess flair and represent the pinnacle of excellence to be crowned Miss Caribbean UK.
