16 Queen Contestants took to the stage last night for their first public judging as they go for the ultimate title of Miss Hibiscus 2013.

The Queen contestants appeared in different Asian attire reflecting the theme of the night, and answered questions ranging from technology, to unemployed youth to the setting up of breast-feeding facilities.

Fijivillage caught up with the contestants backstage on what they felt about their performance.


Meanwhile, tonight is Youth Nite with the Queens Talent Show to begin at 6:30pm at the Bank of Baroda Tent.
