Carnaval Pageant

Our segment is titled "Miss/Mr/Mx. Carnaval Pageant," which is essentially a mock Miss Universe pageant. We will be representing 9 countries of the Caribbean with the usage of brief Q&A oriented engagement with the models and their assigned country. There will be music to represent each country's culture as the models walk up for their Q&A. We are rehearsing a section where we have two finalists countries compete in a short 10-second dance-off then have the audience choose a winner. We do not want it to seem as though we're favoring specific countries so for every performance we will choose two different countries to "compete". Are there any thoughts on this approach to a winner? We want to be inclusive to every country while still maintaining the pageant style of crowning a winner. Of course, at the end of the day, there are no specific winners, because every model will receive roses. Ultimately, we're ending the segment with a dance called Palance to demonstrate the unity of all countries!
