The official prize presentation was held on Monday at Royal Jewels in Grace Bay, Providenciales, a signature sponsor of the Miss International Turks and Caicos Pageant. The ceremony recognized Gustave's achievement and highlighted the support of the pageant's sponsors, whose contributions will assist her as she prepares for the international competition.

According to pageant organizer Sharlene Grant-Richards, Royal Jewels presented Gustave with a Seiko watch from its collection during the ceremony. The luxury jeweler will also present her with a luggage set before she departs for Japan later this year.

She also received a $5,000 cash award from the Miss International Organization, along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Japan to compete in the international pageant in November.

Grant-Richards said the prize presentation reflected the commitment of the organization's sponsors to supporting young women who represent the Turks and Caicos Islands on the global stage. She noted that the remaining travel-related gifts, including the luggage set from Royal Jewels, will be presented before Gustave leaves for Japan.

The prize package is designed to help offset the costs of preparing for international competition while recognizing Gustave's accomplishment in securing the national title.

As preparations continue over the coming months, Gustave will represent not only the Miss International Turks and Caicos organization but also the Turks and Caicos Islands, carrying the hopes of the nation as she competes against delegates from around the world in Japan this November.
