The pageant consists of 5 segments which broadens the emphasis beyond beauty.  Susan says it was created to "help motivate the young women of Anguilla by helping them to recognize the importance of a woman". By displaying the tremendous abilities beyond the physical, organisers also believe the pageant may help young men appreciate the versatility of a woman.
