The Miss Mountain Empire Scholarship Pageant follows the mission of the Miss Virginia (http://www.missva.com/Mission.htm ) and Miss America Organizations (http://www.missamerica.org/organization-info/corporate-info-overview.asp ). The basic concept behind the Miss Mountain Empire Scholarship pageant is to allow young women to express their many talents and provide them a path to a brighter future by giving them scholarships to further their education. We are a not-for-profit scholarship pageant that does NOT require entry fees to participate.
Our show will feature amazing talent not only from our contestants, but from former Miss Virginia contestants and local community members.
