September 27, 2015 (San Diego’s East County)--On Saturday, March 5, 2016 the cities of La Mesa and Santee will hold one of their most grand traditions, the Miss La Mesa and Miss Santee scholarship pageants.  The pageant is currently seeking outgoing residents ages 12-26 to participate in a program that has been a tradition in the cities since the late 1960’s and is an outstanding mentoring program for young women.  The pageants are sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce and focus on community service, networking, improving public speaking and interview skills and overall personal growth.

 The contestants will be scored on personal interview, speech, poise and personality, evening gown, and on-stage impromptu question.  Pageant photographers will present the Miss Photogenic award, contestants will vote for the Miss Congeniality award and a local educator will choose a winner for an essay-writing contest. There is no swimsuit competition!

Miss La Mesa 2016 and Miss Santee 2016 will each receive a $2,000 college scholarship donated by McWire Electric. Miss Teen La Mesa 2016 & Miss Teen Santee 2016 will each receive a scholarship of $500 or more. All 4 titleholders will also receive a prize package including paid entry into the 2017 Miss San Diego Cities Pageant in addition to the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for their city and attend grand openings, parades, summer concerts and chamber functions throughout the year.
