For young women ages 19 to 24, the Queen category helps young women to gain communication skills, build relationships and encourages volunteering in our community of Macon County or the winner’s community.

The Miss Division is judged on personal interview, introduction on stage, communication skills (one-minute speech), formal wear and stage presence.
