To be a part of the Miss Destin competition, the girls must be between the ages of 16 and 19, live in the Destin area and fill out an application. They will be judged on their extracurricular activities and community involvement, poise and personality, their grade-point average and the classes they take, and their responses during the interview at the judges tea. Miss Destin's main responsibility is to represent the rodeo during October, and she has to be able to work well with adults and handle challenging situations. The girls also receive many other prizes such as clothing and jewelry. The pageant will be at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 20, at the Destin Community Center.
Admission is free.
