Search Begins for Next Miss Fountain Valley

The local pageant, which is part of the Miss America selection process, will be held for the first time since 1992.

For the first time in 20 years, Fountain Valley's best and brightest young women will have the chance to be crowned Miss Fountain Valley when the local pageant reboots next March.

The pageant, which is part of the Miss America Organization, is scheduled to take place on March 10, 2012 in Fountain Valley. Contestants in the event will compete in categories of fitness/swimsuit, evening gown, talent and personal interview/scholarship which will give them an opportunity to express their own interests in social or vocational matters. Scholarships and prizes in excess of $10,000 will be awarded in multiple categories, which will be announced at a later date. Any young woman between the ages of 17 and 24 who lives, works or goes to school in Fountain Valley is eligible to participate in the pageant.

The winner of the 2012 Miss Fountain Valley Scholarship Pageant will represent Fountain Valley in the Miss California Pageant in Fresno in June of 2012. Both pageants are affiliated with the Miss America Pageant.
