Local Young Lady Competes for Miss Pre-Teen Albany/Poughkeepsie Title

Ayiana Shaw of Howes Cave was recently selected to participate in the 2014 Miss Pre-Teen Albany/Poughkeepsie pageant competition that will take place on Sunday April 27, 2014. Ayiana learned of her acceptance into this year's competition when the pageant announced their selections following interviewing in the local Albany/Poughkeepsie area. Ayiana submitted an application and took part in an interview session that was conducted by this year's Albany/Poughkeepsie Pageant Coordinator. 

Ayiana will be competing, for her share of thousands of dollars in prizes and specialty gifts that will be distributed to contestants. Ayiana will be competing in the Miss Pre-Teen division, one of four divisions that will have young ladies ages of 10-12 competing in modeling routines, which include casual wear and formal wear. Most important, Ayiana will display her personality and interviewing skills while interviewing with this year's Albany/Poughkeepsie judging panel. Personality is the number one aspect that each contestant is judged on during all phases of competition.

If Ayiana were to win the title of Miss Pre-Teen Albany/Poughkeepsie, she would represent Albany/Poughkeepsie and the surrounding communities at the National Competition that will take place in Orlando, Florida. Over $30,000.00 in prizes and awards will be presented at the National Competition while each winner enjoys this expense paid trip of five nights and six days in Orlando, Florida.

Community businesses, organizations, and private individuals will assist Ayiana in participating in this year's competition by becoming an official sponsor to her. Through sponsorship, each contestant receives all the necessary training, rehearsals, and financial support which will allow Ayiana to become a very confident and well-prepared contestant in this year's Albany/Poughkeepsie Pageant.

Any business, organization, or private individual who may be interested in becoming a sponsor to Ayiana may contact the Miss Pre-Teen Albany/Poughkeepsie pageant coordinator, at 1-877-403-6678.
