La Mesa and Santee Seek Contestants for Local Teen Beauty Pageants

On Friday, March 1, 2013 the cities of La Mesa and Santee will hold one of their most grand traditions, the Miss La Mesa and Miss Santee Pageants. Pageant organizers are currently seeking outgoing residents ages 13-26 to participate in a program that has been a tradition in the cities since the late 1960’s and is an outstanding mentoring program for young women. The pageants are sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce and focus on community service. There is no swimsuit competition.

The 2013 titleholders will all receive scholarships which was fundraised last September in the successful “A Night of Talent and Fashion” show which was held at Steele Canyon High School.

The contestants will be scored on personal interview, speech, poise and personality, sportswear, evening gown and an on stage question. Pageant photographers will present the Miss Photogenic award, contestants will vote for the Miss Congeniality award and there will also be an essay writing contest. Winners will receive the once in a lifetime opportunity to serve as their cities official hostess and spend the year attending grand openings, parades, summer concerts and chamber functions. They will move on to compete in the Miss San Diego Cities and Miss Teen San Diego Cities Pageant.
