Miss America Celebrates 90th Anniversary
I didn't know this pageant was so old. Miss America organization is the country's (USA) largest scholarship provider for women.
QUOTE LAS VEGAS (AP) - Fifty-three women are vying for the Miss America crown on Saturday night, an honor that carries with it a $50,000 scholarship and a yearlong run as an idol to many young girls throughout the country.
Miss America 2010 Caressa Cameron planned to crown the winner after a two-hour competition televised live nationally on ABC.
After an opening number, hosts Brooke Burke and Chris Harrison will announce 16 finalists, including one chosen by fans through online and mobile phone voting. The girls will then compete in swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview competitions, and a panel of judges will pick a winner.
The competition is the finale of a week of preliminary contests, with each queen having already won her state crown. The 53 contestants include one from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Preliminary scores count 30 percent toward a contestant's score to get into the top five. The talent competition counts for 30 percent, while the swimsuit and evening gown competitions each count for 20 percent. After the final five contestants answer a question onstage, each judge will rank them in order. The winner will be determined solely from that ballot.
During the preliminaries, three competitors _ Miss Hawaii Jalee Fuselier, Miss Alabama, Ashley Davis and Miss Oklahoma Emoly West _ won nightly swimsuit competitions worth $1,000 each. Miss Rhode Island Deborah Saint Vil, Miss North Carolina Adrienne Core and Miss Nebraska Teresa Scanlan each won talent contests, winning $2,000 apiece....
