Oklahoma State Director Announces Dates; Seeks Teen Contestants for International Pageant

Nov. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Laurel, MD – The Miss Teen Oklahoma International Pageant is seeking interested teens from around the state to compete in the state pageant to be held on March 2 – 4, 2012 on the campus of Cameron University in Lawton. The young lady who wins the crown will move on to compete in the Miss Teen International Pageant next July in Chicago Illinois. The pageant is under the new directorship of pageant veteran, Lawton businesswoman Tara Staley. The International Pageant system is the only system to require that each competitor actively be engaged and promote a community service platform.

The teen division is open to young ladies between the ages of 13 – 18 years old who (or their parents) live or work within the state. Each delegate in these divisions will compete in four categories throughout the weekend’s competition: an individual interview with judges, Evening Gown, fun fashion and fitness. In addition to the title, crown, sash and trip to Chicago, the new Miss Teen Oklahoma will take home a prize package valued at more than $5000.

The reigning Miss Oklahoma International is Chantal Shirkey, whose platform is “Alternative Health for a Better Lifestyle”. Chantal had the opportunity to compete in Chicago with the reigning Miss Teen International 2011 Jurnee Carr who represented Virginia. Jurnee is a voice for animals and continues to promote her platform “Jurnee’s Journey: Helping All God’s Creations”! The new Miss Teen Oklahoma will spend a year traveling throughout the state to promote the platform of her choice. Young ladies interested in entering should contact the state director to reserve their local title. The deadline to enter the Teen Oklahoma International Pageant is February 1, 2012.
