Hazel-Ann Anthony of Mahaut has captured the title of Madam Wob Dwiyet 2026, after a competition held at the Massacre Indoor Facility in Dominica on Wednesday, October 28. She was one of seven contestants representing communities across the island.
The contest brought together women from different parts of Dominica, each presenting herself before the judges and the audience in the course of the evening. Anthony emerged as the winner from a field that reflected the island's wider community life, where pageants and cultural competitions remain a regular feature of local celebrations.
Madam Wob Dwiyet is a title that draws on the Creole heritage of the Nature Isle, and the competition forms part of the cultural calendar that brings families, neighbours and visitors together. Winners of such contests are typically seen as ambassadors for their communities, and the title carries public recognition for the woman who holds it.
Anthony's victory was published by Dominica News Online, which reported the result from the venue. The competition continues to be an occasion for communities to showcase their talent and their pride in Dominican culture, and the 2026 edition adds another chapter to that tradition.
