Each of our Miss and Teen contestants represents her own community, and is vying for the chance to represent Upstate New York and the Finger Lakes Region at the state pageant.
These ladies are students, professionals, advocates for their selected platform causes, social influencers, and role models. Their success will be measured by the impact they leave behind.
