The Ms. Missouri Senior America Pageant invites all women older than 60 to audition to participate in the pageant, which will be held July 12.

In the pageant, contestants will recite a 35-second personal philosophy of life, be interviewed by a panel of professional judges, model an age-appropriate evening gown and perform a two-and-a-half minute talent presentation.

A queen will be crowned, as well as first- and second-place runner-ups.

Initial interviews will take place March 10 and a talent audition will take place March 17.

After the pageant, all participants are invited to become members of the Missouri Pageant Alumnae Club, also known as the Missouri Cameo Club, a nonprofit, charitable organization which is dedicated to enriching the lives of all seniors by performing showcases at the senior facilities throughout the St. Louis metro area.
