Baileyville — Outstanding young ladies from all across eastern Maine recently competed for prestigious Eastern Maine Pageant titles in Baileyville. Each competed in three phases of competition for the right to a crown. These consisted of an interview with judges, onstage self-introduction and formal wear.
Queens were chosen in Little Miss, Junior Miss and Teen Miss categories. Each queen wore home a gorgeous crown and custom-embroidered satin sash and earned a beautiful trophy. Each will represent her community at numerous events, festivities and parades throughout her reign. The Teen Miss and Junior Miss Eastern Maine Pageant queens will have their entry paid to the 2015 Miss Maine Academic Pageant, where they will compete to earn college scholarships on Aug. 16 in Saco.
Contestants also had the opportunity to compete in optional competitions. These were judged by a separate panel of judges and scores from these competitions had no bearing on the outcome of the pageant. Optional competitions consisted of photogenic, modeling and talent.
Participants with local ties included Allison Morton of Lincoln (formerly of Presque Isle) who won the Junior Miss Eastern Maine Modeling Queen title. The Little Miss Eastern Maine Photogenic Queen was awarded to Kallee Parent from Caribou.
