The winner and runners-up will be awarded $2,000 in scholarships and other gifts. She will represent Cass and St. Joe counties in the 2005 Miss Michigan Pageant.
This year a Miss Teen Cass/St. Joseph County will also be crowned.
Young women ages 14 to 17 are eligible to compete and are also invited to attend this orientation meeting.
Contestants are judged on talent (two minutes), which counts as 30 percent of her total score; personal interview, 40 percent; and evening gown, swimsuit (casual wear for teen) and overall composite, 10 percent each.
Besides singing, dancing or playing an instrument, talent may consist of a dramatic reading, comedy dialogue, baton twirling, mime, magic, ventriloquism or a combination of talents.
