This is a great way to earn some scholarship money and possibly go on to compete for 2015 Miss Georgia or for 2015 Miss Georgia’s Outstanding Teen which will be held June 13-20, 2015 in Columbus. Because the Miss America rules do not permit the charging of entry fees for the Miss contestants, only Teen Contestants are required to pay an entry fee of $150.00. Only Miss Contestants are required to raise $100.00 for the Miss America’s National Platform-the Children’s Miracle Network. In order for a Miss Contestant to participate in the Miss Golden Isles Pageant this donation must be raised by the deadline of Sunday, October 19.
