WAUSAU – The Miss Wausau Area organization seeks contestants for its inaugural competition on Nov. 11.
Directed by Jenny Stanke, the mother of Miss America 2023 Grace Stanke, the competition is an official local preliminary to the Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin’s Teen Competitions to be held in June 2024 in Oshkosh.
“The Miss America and Miss America’s Teen organizations provide endless opportunities for young women to earn scholarships, learn interview skills, develop their talents, and form lifelong friendships and memories,” Stanke said in a news release. “I am excited to bring these opportunities to the women of central Wisconsin.”
The Miss Wausau Area Scholarship Competition is open to women between the ages of 18 and 28, while Miss Wausau Area’s Teen contestants must be between the ages of 13 and 18. Competitors for both age divisions must reside, work or attend school in Marathon County.
Contestants will be judged in private interview, on-stage conversation, health and fitness, talent and evening gown. Miss Wausau Area and Miss Wausau Area’s Teen will win cash scholarships to the school of their choosing, the opportunity to represent their community for one year, and the chance to compete for Miss Wisconsin and Miss Wisconsin’s Teen, and potentially Miss America and Miss America’s Teen.
