The pageant crown was passed onto the new winner from 2011 Miss Caribbean Culture, St Lucia’s very own Onyka McKoy. First runner up was Miss Curaçao who Adams considered her main competitor in a post pageant interview, followed by second runner up Louise Victor. Third runner up was none other than Miss St Croix!
