Rich
in history and social significance, the Miss Redford Township Scholarship Program is
a not-for–profit corporation that has maintained a tradition of empowering
Wayne County women to achieve their personal and
professional goals, while providing a forum in which to express their
opinions, talent and intelligence.
Women who are high school graduates, or have completed the academic
requirements for entry into a four year college/university degree program by
July 30 are encouraged to participate in the Miss Redford
Township Pageant. In
addition, all contestants must live, work, or go to school in Wayne County, be single and never been married, between the
ages of 17-24 by October 31, an amateur or professional, and have a
competitive spirit.
Miss
Redford Township and other contestants
who earn local titles go on to compete in the state competition, and the
state titleholder participates in the nationally televised Miss America
Pageant in October.
Competition

In short, a platform is community service. Every contestant choses an
area of community service in which she has been working ,or will work,
to dedicate their year of service if they should win the title of Miss
Redford Township, MIss Michigan, and Miss America. All contestants in
the Miss Redford Scholarship Pageant will need to write a platform essay
(1 page, 300 word maximum) which clearly and consisely describes the
service to which they will commit their year of service. This
essay is given to the judges to help facilitate the interview.

Wear Competition

on-stage impression of her personality.

her beauty must be projected “across the footlights.” The
contestant’s total look is considered. The evening wear (not
the value of the evening wear) should complement and extend the
personality of the young woman.

Talent
Competition
40% of Score
The 2:00 Minute Talent competition is not an end in itself, but rather
an insight into the woman’s preparatory and performance skills.
Consideration is given whether the contestant’s talent selection fits
these skills and her personality.
The talent competition acknowledges the “quality” of the
talent being presented, the “technical skill level,” and
“feeling” with which the technical skill is presented, along with
the “stage presence” of the contestant. |
There
are a few weekend rehearsals before the pageant. The dates of these
rehearsals will be announced. For more information please contact
the Executive Director, Sheila Sigro. |
