This spring, young women from every corner of the state between the ages of 18 and 25, will convene in Somerset, Kentucky for a different kind of pageant. Says Executive Director Lisa Clark, " the pageant is a celebration of today's youth. You will see contestants of all heights, races, nationalities and backgrounds participating in Miss Kentucky - US International Pageant. The judging categories consist of swimsuit, evening gown, interview, and beauty/poise.
Over $130,000 in college scholarships and prizes will be awarded at the Miss Kentucky - US International. The new Miss Kentucky - US International will win a prize package valued at over $10,000, including competition wardrobe when she goes to compete at the national Miss US International Pageant, held in Houston, Texas in June, 2009.
What is different from this pageant says Clark, is that it is not a winner take all event. Full Tuition College scholarship offers are also given to the first and second runners up.
Clark, the reigning Mrs. Kentucky ATOC, is known for her work as a fragrance designer for the Candleberry Candle Company, and her volunteer work for the Miss America Organization. Mrs. Clark's goal as the executive director of the Miss Kentucky -US International Pageant, is to bring reward to young women through an additional outlet in Kentucky.
The Miss Kentucky - US International Pageant is presently seeking area representatives for the annual state program. You may visit the website at www.misskentucky.net or email for more information. All applicants may apply quickly, online at this website, OR If you wish to request an application packet you may email the director at lisaclark@misskentucky.net
