Community Service Project                                                                              Junior Miss contestants are required to have a completed or on-going community service project. She will write a 200 word essay about the project on one page of white paper to be included in the judges’ book. The essay will be typed. It should discuss the reason this project was chosen, the details of the contestant’s involvement in the project and how it has affected her community.

Interview                                                                                                          There will be a 6 minute interview with the contestant seated before panel of judges.  One third of the interview will concern her community service project. The judges will evaluate the contestant’s ability to express herself, talk about things that are important to her and discuss her community service project. The interview accounts for 30% of the total points.

Talent                                                                                                                 The talent portion of the competition is the performance of music, drama, art, dance, baton, or acrobatics and is limited to a maximum of two (2)minutes.

Party Dress                                                                                                           The contestant will model a party dress that could be worn to a school function, church or party.  She will be judged on her ability to model the dress and how well the dress suits her personality, not the dress itself. Pageant dresses with excessive frills are not permitted. This accounts for 15% of the total points.

On-Stage Question                                                                                           There will be one on-stage question that will be formulated from the contestant’s resume and community service project.
