Calling all teens! The Miss New Bedford’s Outstanding Teen pageant is seeking contestants from New Bedford and its surrounding cities and towns to compete in its upcoming pageant! An information session will be on December 8th for anyone interested in learning more.
Do you know a teen that would make a great role model? One that wants to make a difference in her community? Could your teen benefit from developing leadership, confidence, and speaking skills? How about scholarship money?!
This year’s winner will receive a $500 college scholarship, entry to the Miss Massachusetts’ Outstanding Teen pageant, plus additional gifts from community sponsors. The winner will also spend an entire year making appearances, and engaging in various community service and leadership opportunities. Runners-up and top scoring contestants will also receive scholarships and/or recognition.

Contestants compete in five phases of competition: Interview, Talent, Physical Fitness (a brief, group Zumba-style routine), On-Stage Question, and Evening Wear. Note: This is not a glitz/glam pageant. It does not require an expensive wardrobe. No experience is necessary!
