Sunday May 15 the finalists for the 'La Reina del Atlántico 2016' were selected in four age groups.
The election took place in the amphitheater of the Casa Marina Reef in Sosúa.
Reina del Atlántico 2016
The candidate Reinas were supervised and trained by Joelysa Rodríguez Morales.
Joelysa herself once was a winner of several beauty contests and is also a professional model, so her experience was very valuable.
The girls walked in evening wear and swimwear on the catwalk.
The large audience was very enthusiastic.
After much deliberation the jury eventually came to a final decision and could reward the overjoyed winners of this final with a crown, floral bouquet and certificate.
The meeting was often interrupted and also ended with a performance of a popular hip hop group.
