Who will be the seventh Ontario Little Miss Mid West Princess in 2011?
The Ontario Little Miss Mid West Princess Pageant represents the five counties of Wellington, Huron, Perth, Grey, and Bruce, and pageant organizers are looking for a title holder to accompany the reigning Queen throughout her year.
Barb MacArthur, president of the Ontario Miss and Princess Pageant said, “We are in search of girls between the ages of 8 and 12 who live within the five counties.”
The pageant is set for July 16 at the Walkerton community centre. Contestants must either attend school or be home schooled and sponsored by an organization, business, or company.
MacArthur added that the contestant does not have to be carrying a title to enter, but is permitted to enter if she already holds a title. The winner will be expected to participate in functions during her reign, with the approval of her guardian, MacArthur added.
“Our goal is to give the opportunity to help the individual promote their commitment to education, career, and involvement within the community. While we take part in many functions the title holder must be able to speak to the public.”
MacArthur said that it is not a “beauty” contest. “We do believe in inner beauty. With inner beauty one can be who they wish to be.
MacArthur said the Ontario Miss Mid West Pageant has been a strong believer of that and over the past 17 years has proven it to be true. Contestants will be judged on interviews, her application, formal wear, and on a stage impromptu question based on her application.
This year, organizers are introducing the Jordan Fawcett memorial award, which will be for the Princess contestants only. Fawcett was the Ontario Little Miss Mid West Princess in 2007. She died in 2010.
