Applications accepted for Miss Teen Delaware and Miss Delaware

Applications are now being accepted for the titles of Miss Teen Delaware and Miss Delaware International 2015. The Miss Teen and Miss International Pageant will be held at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts in Jacksonville, Fla. The dates for the Miss Teen and Miss International Pageants are July 27 to Aug. 2.

The women selected as Miss Teen Delaware and Miss Delaware International 2015 will serve as ambassadors for Delaware and will each receive an official crown and sash.

There is no talent or swimsuit competition, and previous pageant experience is not required. Teen and Miss contestants compete in interview, fitness wear, evening gown and fun fashion to show off their own style in an age-appropriate outfit of their choice. Mary Richardson, national executive director of International Pageants, said they are looking for women “who could grace the crown, the system and their communities.”

International Pageants has a continuing alliance with the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women to fulfill the goal of bringing awareness about the risks of heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women in the United States today. Winners of the Miss Teen International and Miss International will receive a three-year modeling contract along with cash and prizes. Miss Delaware applicants must be unmarried and between the ages of 19 and 30. Miss Teen Delaware applicants must be unmarried and between the ages of 13 and 18 as of July 1, 2015.

Any women interested in applying should contact Richardson at 540-989-5992, email director@miss-international.us, or go to www.mrsinternational.com, www.miss-international.us, or www.missteeninternational.us.
