Legacy Award - Due Sunday, August 3, 2025

Legacy Award


​The Legacy Award is an optional scholarship opportunity designed to commemorate our Miss Wayne County legacy, encourage leadership within our "sisterhood," as well as improve scholarship opportunities for the young women of Wayne County.  Contestants interested in applying for this award will be required to submit an essay which will be judged by a separate panel of judges and does not have any effect on the final outcome of the competition.

The scholarship is provided by our former titleholders, and we accept donations up until the day of the program.  Therefore, the scholarship amount will not be given until the winner is announced on-stage during the awards ceremony.
​ 
To enter this optional competition, follow the instructions below and turn in your essay one of two ways:
  1. In an envelope with your name on it, but DO NOT write your name on the essay itself.  The essay competition will be judged blindly, so we do not want your name on the actual essay itself.
  2. Upload below.  Again, do not write your name on the actual essay itself.​​
Legacy Award Instructions
We strongly encourage you to enter this optional competition.  The scholarship for this award varies each year, but it is usually a few hundred dollars.
​ 

Upload your community service entry NO LATER than Sunday, August 3, 2025.

A paper copy of your entry may be turned in at the rehearsal on Sunday, August 3 if you prefer.
**REMEMBER** DO NOT WRITE YOUR NAME ON YOUR ESSAY

People's Choice Award - Due Saturday, August 9, 2025

People's Choice Award


​The People’s Choice Award is awarded to the contestant who receives the most "votes" from the audience as the contestant they believe should win the competition.

People's Choice containers will be displayed on a table at the entrance to the competition and will be available for voting through the end of intermission.  Audience members will "vote" for their favorite contestant by inserting money into that contestant's container.  $1 = one vote.  The contestant with the most votes will win the People’s Choice Award.  The proceeds from the People’s Choice competition will ​go directly to the Miss Wayne County scholarship fund.

​You will need to decorate a container (think Pringles can, oatmeal container, etc.) with any type of decoration that fits your personality and should include your name, contestant number, and photo. 

​
Containers are to be turned in AT DRESS REHEARSAL on Friday, August 8, 2025.
