QUEEN OF PARADISE
The Paradise Challenge is holding the world finals for the title of Queen of Paradise. It is being held in the beautiful Negril, Jamaica from September 19th through the 25th, 2021. The winner of the Queen of Paradise title will receive a grand prize of $10k cash plus a one year traveling contract for up to 6 destinations worldwide and much more. The Paradise Challenge is a little different from other pageants and contests and is based on the belief of having fun while being also being productive. The event is focused on exclusive content creation in the world’s most beautiful locations, while also doing our part to help the environment and making a difference in the destinations we visit.
Our event’s program offers multiple networking opportunities with industry professionals from all over the globe. Competing for the Queen of Paradise title does’t mean hours of choreography. Instead of creating a formal production show, our event is focused on an experience supported by photoshoots with our guest photographers along with games and team challenges that are filled with prizes & other great opportunities!
