The pageant is planned, directed and produced by students in the Student Activities Committee. The contestants will be judged on their performance in the pageant’s opening number, talent, interview, and formal wear categories. There will also be a People’s Choice component, in which the audience can vote for their favorites by making donations during intermission. All money raised through ticket sales and the People’s Choice contest will go to MU’s Play4Kay fundraiser, which will go to fund breast cancer research and mammograms for underserved women in the Fayetteville community.
