some beauty pageant-it offers educational opportunities for young women
from ages 3-23. The Miss Tift County Forestry is open to contestants ages

50 of scoring is based upon an interview with a qualified panel of judges.
An additional 25 of the scoring is based upon a speech on a platform of
the contestants choice, and the remaining 25 is judged on stage presence
via evening gown competition. The winner receives a cash scholarship and
all expenses paid to represent Tift County at the State Forestry Pageant.
The Miss Georgia Forestry Pageant offers over $60,000 in scholarship money.

Georgia county. All queens receive an official Miss Forestry round crown,
