Miss Mississippi 2016 Pageant {Life}

Last year, an extraordinary organization handed out almost $100,000 in scholarships to young women across the state.  Who awarded these talented women? The Miss Mississippi Pageant, of course!  The Miss America Corporation is the leading scholarship provider for women in the country.  The Miss Mississippi Corporation has led the country in the amount of scholarships provided for a number of years.

The Miss Mississippi contest began in 1934, and has been held in Vicksburg since 1958.  Remarkably, four Miss Mississippis have won the title of Miss America!

Tomorrow night, 44 beautiful, smart and talented contestants will dance, sing, promote their platforms, answer tough questions and show off their style throughout the competition.  Whether you are watching the magical evening live in Vicksburg or enjoying it from the comfort of your home, please join us in encouraging these young women!
