Please take the time to carefully complete your Bio. You may email your completed Bio to MissLHSPageant@yahoo.com or bring to your rehearsal. SPONSORSHIP QUEEN (Optional): Sponsorship money is funds solicited by each contestant. These funds go directly to the PTSO and are separate from the entry fee. This is the only PTSO fundraiser at Loganville High School and we encourage each applicant to participate in obtaining sponsorship money. This is a great opportunity for the girls to build their communication skills, meet business people in our community and learn how to present themselves to others. We ask each girl to raise $100 in scholarship funds and every contestant that does raise at least $100 will be given a special gift. Additionally, a Sponsorship Award will be presented in each age group to the contestant who raises the largest amount of money through sponsors. There must be at least three sponsorship participants in each group to name a Sponsorship Award winner. The overall sponsorship winner from all pageants who collects the largest dollar amount in sponsorships will receive a crown, banner, trophy, and $200.00 cash. Sponsors may be businesses, friends, or relatives. All money received goes directly to the PTSO scholarship fund. Fill out all the information on the Sponsorship Form provided. The Sponsor Form may be emailed to MissLHSPageant@yahoo.com or turned into the LHS office by February 27th. All money must be turned in no later than your rehearsal date. Any sponsor name not submitted by the deadline will not be included in the program. PHOTOGENIC QUEEN (Optional): There will also be a photogenic portion of the competition.
