The pageant organizer later discovered the reason for such a circumstance was a precondition that happened when she resided in the United States; nonetheless, she did not inform the organizer of such a situation before entering the pageant. As a result, Bain automatically forfeited the title.[5] Initially, Dawkins planned to organize the pageant annually,[1] but the project was canceled due to the aforementioned circumstances.[5] The national finalists include;[1] - **[Andros](/source/Andros%2C_Bahamas)** – Cornesha Colebrooke *(3rd runner-up)* - **[Eleuthera](/source/Eleuthera)** – Alexandria Pennerman - **[Exuma](/source/Exuma)** – Lakeira Wright - **[Grand Bahama](/source/Grand_Bahama)** – Moñice Nazon *(2nd runner-up)* - **[Inagua](/source/Inagua)** – Jacoya McPhee - **[New Providence](/source/New_Providence)** – Dannise Bain *(Winner)* - **[San Salvador](/source/San_Salvador_Island)** – Sharnae Fernander *(1st runner-up)* ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-4) [***f***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-5) [***g***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-6) [***h***](#cite_ref-bahamas2018_1-7) Alesha Cadet (15 June 2018).
