The Queens of Carnaval take the stage in feathers, jewels and unrivaled craftsmanship.
The queen elections celebrate craftsmanship as much as performance. Months of work by designers, welders, feather workers and seamstresses arrive on stage in a single evening.
Contestants are evaluated on costume construction, stage presence, interview and overall representation of their group.
The crowned queens lead their groups through every parade of the season.
