Yana shows off for fashion expression

The competition started with six girls between the ages of 13 and 17. They were judged by

professionals in the areas of :

academics,community

awareness,talent, and fashion expression.

Over 200 members

of the community watched the girls compete. Various vendors donated prizes, which went into

gift baskets for every

participant.

 The pageant was a

success because it was free, which made entry more accessible to lower income families. Moreover, it is one of

the most unique pageants ever... 

no swimsuits, no beauty standards, or previous

experience was needed. All you had to do was love yourself, and your community.
