Cissy Johnson, who is in charge of the 2023 Miss Montevallo Pageant wants the girls to understand, “that yes, it’s about stage presence but not only that, I had a middle school student come up and state how her appearance was not “pageant appealing” when I asked her about being in the pageant. It broke my heart because she was beautiful. It’s about inner beauty and it gives the girls confidence and they need to look at it as an opportunity to have fun, be different, and be with their friends and have a good time.” 

I also spoke with 2022 Miss Montevallo, Hannah Locks, and she spoke about how her experience was “exciting and empowering”. Hannah’s advice to the girl contestants is to, “completely be yourself and take the pageant as an opportunity to learn  more about yourself and focus on cheering for and empowering other girls. As much as it is a “competition”, it is an opportunity to grow personally and champion other young women.”
