Keniya Smith of Birmingham was recently selected to participate in the 2014 Miss Jr. Pre-Teen Birmingham/Montgomery pageant competition that will take place on Sunday, February 9. Keniya learned of her acceptance into this year’s competition when the pageant announced their selections following interviewing in the local Birmingham/Montgomery area. Keniya submitted an application and took part in an interview session that was conducted by this year’s Birmingham/Montgomery Pageant Coordinator. Keniya will be competing for her share of thousands of dollars in prizes and specialty gifts that will be distributed to contestants. Keniya will be competing in the Miss Jr. Pre-Teen division, one of four divisions that will have young ladies the ages of 7 through 19 competing in modeling routines, which include casual wear and formal wear. Most importantly, Keniya will display her personality and interviewing skills while interviewing with this year’s Birmingham/Montgomery judging panel. Personality is the number one aspect that each contestant is judged on during all phases of competition. If Keniya were to win the title of Miss Jr. Pre-Teen Birmingham/Montgomery, she would represent Birmingham/Montgomery and the surrounding communities at the National Competition that will take place in Orlando, Florida. Over $30,000 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 Keniya 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 Keniya to become a very confident and well-prepared contestant in this year’s Birmingham/Montgomery Pageant. Any business, organization, or private individual who may be interested in becoming a sponsor to Keniya may contact the Miss Jr. Pre-Teen Birmingham/Montgomery pageant coordinator, at 1-877-403-6678.
