Why You Can Live in MD or VA and still be Mrs. DC America; Seeking Contestants for 2017!

WASHINGTON - Oct. 17, 2016 - PRLog -- At the pageant, contestants are judged on interview, fitness and evening gown. To qualify, a contestant must be 18 years of age, married at the time of the pageant and live and/or work within a 25-mile radius of DC. Women can go directly to the website now to apply to be in the pageant.

The Mrs. DC America Pageant publicly recognizes beautiful married women, living and/or working within a 25-mile radius of Washington, DC, who have obtained personal, professional, and community achievements. An official preliminary pageant to Mrs. America and Mrs. World, the Mrs. DC America Pageant welcomes women from all ethnic backgrounds to compete in a yearly pageant for the title of Mrs. DC America. The reigning queen is Kinosha Soden of Onley, Maryland, who touts the platform "GEMS - Girls Excelling in Math and Science." A former prima ballerina, Kinosha stands tall behind her platform as she herself has two degrees in Biology and Business, along with a minor in Biochemistry.

Since 1977, the Mrs. America pageant has been a leading competition for married women. This renowned national competition is devoted to emphasizing that America's 70 million married women are extraordinarily beautiful, poised, articulate, and versatile.

Each state (plus the District of Columbia) has a yearly preliminary pageant to select a delegate to participate in the Mrs. America pageant. At the Mrs. America pageant 51 women compete for the coveted title of Mrs. America. Then, the delegate who wins the Mrs. America pageant moves on to the Mrs. World pageant, competing against other beautiful, articulate, and poised women from around the world!
