BROOKINGS The 77th Annual Miss South Dakota Scholarship Competition is being hosted May 30 through June 1 at The Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center in Brookings.
This year 20 Miss and 12 Teen delegates are hoping to be crowned the next Miss South Dakota and Miss South Dakota Outstanding Teen, respectively. The new crowned Miss South Dakota will compete in the Miss America competition in early 2025.
The theme of this years program is Swingin Glam with delegates judged on interviews, talent, red carpet and as a champion for a social impact project.
Throughout its 77-year history, the Miss South Dakota program has impacted 18,000 young women. Last year, over $56,000 in scholarships were awarded during the three-day event. The Miss South Dakota Scholarship Program is a means for statewide awareness of the Miss America and Miss Americas Teen programs. Their mission is to uphold the four points of the crown: Service, Scholarship, Success, and Style.
The Miss South Dakota Competition and the Miss South Dakota Outstanding Teen Competition is an official preliminary of the Miss America Competition and Miss Americas Teen Competition, the nations leading achievement program and the worlds largest provider of scholarship assistance to young women.
Participation in this program provides young women with the opportunity to promote a platform of community service and share their talents, intelligence, and positive values while serving as role models in their communities. The program is run entirely by volunteers and is supported by private donations which help the delegates in their pursuit of academic excellence, service, and lifelong success.
Tickets are available online at MissSD.org and at The Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center before each night. The competition begins each night at 6:30 pm.
