The 2013 Ms. Senior Missouri America Pageant will take place Sunday, July 14, at the Florissant Civic Center Theatre.

Currently, state directors are looking for candidates to audition to become contestants in the pageant this year, according to a news release.

Ladies must be at least 60 years old and have a talent — singing, dancing or any kind of talent that can be presented in 2½ minutes on stage. The pageant also includes three other areas of competition — a personal interview with the judges before the pageant begins, modeling an evening gown and reciting your 35-second philosophy of life.

Auditions will be conducted in late February. For more information, call Christine DeHart, co-state director, at (636) 220-7123.
