They have two orientation sessions scheduled in May.

The scholarship program is open to all young women who live, work or attend school in Lake County. The teen program is open to ages 13-16 and the Miss Program is open to ages 17-24.
They invite parents to attend the orientation sessions with their daughters. All areas of the competition will be covered, which includes talent, lifestyle and fitness, evening wear, on-stage question and private interview.
Academic achievement and community service are also considered in a contestant’s overall evaluation.
Rehearsals will start in mid June and are usually held once a week.
Even if this is your first year competing, you will have a lot of fun and meet some great girls. The volunteer committee members are there to support and mentor you throughout the program.
They also have a Princess Program for girls ages 6 to 12. This program is a great way to introduce the girls to the Miss America program. They participate in community events with the Teen and Miss contestants and will be introduced and “crowned” on stage at our pageant in August.
They also are looking for community members who would like to join our program.
