Do you have good grades? Are you active in your community? Are you a resident of Staten Island? Are you a girl between the ages of 13 and 24? If so, it’s that time again — the Miss Staten Island–Miss Richmond County, and the Staten Island–Richmond County’s Outstanding Teen scholarship pageants are looking for contestants.
Competitors for the Miss Staten Island must be between the ages of 17 and 24, and a resident. Those entering the Outstanding Teen competition must be between the ages of 13 and 17, a resident, and must be no higher than a junior in high school by Aug. 31, 2013. All applications must be filed by Sept. 14, 2012. The pageants will take place in November.
Last year’s winners, Miss Staten Island’s Stephanie Accardo and Outstanding Teen, Alexa Nicole Moley, shared more than $15,000 in scholarships and prizes.
Lucky ladies in each category will be eligible to compete in the New York state competitions, which will qualify the state winners to enter the national Miss America competitions. Scholarships and prizes will be given to the winners and finalists at all levels.
For an application, e-mail missichair@aol.com or call Jim Smith, executive director, at (718) 816–5508.
