Welcome to Miss Caribbean UK

 

Thank you for your interest in participating in Miss Caribbean UK (MCUK). We are delighted at the possibility of welcoming you into a journey that celebrates empowerment, cultural pride, personal development, and the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean diaspora.

 

Our Mission

Miss Caribbean UK was established to inspire and elevate individuals by celebrating beauty that goes far beyond physical appearance. Our aim is to highlight and honour the rich, positive, and ongoing contributions of the Afro-Caribbean community within the UK.

We champion confidence, integrity, ambition, community involvement, and heritage.

 

 

Contest Highlights

At MCUK, personality and purpose are paramount.
 

We do not run a swimwear round. Instead, we proudly highlight Caribbean culture through our Carnival Costume Round, allowing finalists to express heritage creatively and respectfully, in keeping with the MCUK ethos.

Other stage segments include:

• Evening Wear Round

• On-Stage Charity Pitch

• Interview Round

Registration and Finalist Status

Following a successful interview, all applicants will be notified if they have secured a place as a finalist. To confirm full commitment and secure this position, a non-refundable registration fee of £300 must be submitted by the end of February 2026.

One of the most empowering aspects of Miss Caribbean UK is learning how to secure your own sponsors.
Many of our finalists successfully raise sponsorship which:
•    Covers their registration fee
•    Supports their journey
•    Promotes their sponsors’ businesses through our platform
We strongly encourage you to begin reaching out to prospective sponsors early. We provide guidance and support with this process.

​

Once your registration is confirmed, you will officially become a 2026 MCUK Finalist and receive your Finalists Registration Pack, which includes:

• Detailed expectations and commitments

• Costume guidelines

• Key dates and mandatory appearances

• Social media and branding instructions

• FAQs and preparation support
   

 

Event Participation Requirements

Finalists must be available to attend:

• The official MCUK Photoshoot

• Rehearsal sessions (dates and venues will be confirmed in advance)

• The 2026 Grand Final

• Any additional mandatory activities outlined in your Finalists Pack.
   

Your early application means that some details may still be subject to confirmation, but all information will be provided with adequate notice.

MCUK is proud to support each contestant through a rewarding journey of self-growth, cultural education, and professional development. Our team is committed to helping you excel both on and off the stage.
