On Saturday night, the MCC ground's was packed to capacity as 25 competitors - 12 Kings and 13 Queens took to the stage to show off their elaborate costumes and energized moves.

The competition was fierce as these kings and queens went out in full force to represent their carnival band. They brought nothing but their best performances to the stage.

In the end there could only be 4 winners. In the junior Queen category -1st place winner went to Sunshine Masqueraders - Elisha Bernardez - portraying a Mayan Rain Goddess.

And in the Junior King Category Jump Street Posse took home the 1st place prize - with Warren Smith portraying Prince Kent.

"What was the feeling like out there on the stage?"

Warren Smith
"I felt kind of nervous and then the crowd just hypes me up and I just got to do what I got to do."

Monica Bodden
"Warren, I have to ask you where did you get all that energy from?"

Warren Smith
"Well I wasn't hype before camp night, but camp night made me get that energy."

Then it was on to the senior winners - where MAHOGANY MASQUERADERS - Queen Ruby - portrayed by Kimolyn Vernon took the first place prize.

"What was going through your mind being out there in this huge beautiful costume?"

Aidian Palacio
"I was like 'I got to do this, got to work this costume and show them what I have and what carnival is about.'"

"It was like a kind bitter lent feeling when I went up there because since last night when they call and told me about my friend Dana who has been killed I have not slept. I have not had any sleep since last night. I also feel proud of myself and proud of Mother Nature. I think I vindicated myself because somehow a lot of people in Belize believe that only teenagers should be dancing costumes and I got quite a few challenges which I did not respond to because I don't believe in responding to any challenges. I only knew that I went up there and I did my best and I think what a lot of people who go up for king and queen don't understand is not about wiggling yourself on stage. The rules say play the costume and that's what I did up there tonight, I play the costume to the best of my ability."

In the junior category, first place winners received four thousand dollars, while second and third won three and two thousand dollars each. In the senior category, first place winners received five thousand dollars, while second and third received three thousand five hundred and two thousand five hundred dollars each.
