 The Miss Derry Scholarship Program is proud to
introduce the 18 contestants who competed for
scholarship awards and the title of Miss Greater Derry 2012 at
our 25th. annual Miss Greater Derry pageant on June 24th. 2012
at the Adams memorial Opera House in Derry NH. The new Miss
Greater Derry
received a scholarship award of $5,000.00, the opportunity to represent the
Greater Derry area at the Miss New Hampshire scholarship pageant
and possibly to represent the state of NH at the Miss America
Pageant in 2013! In order to earn these opportunities, our
contestants were assessed by our panel of judges in the areas
of talent, private interview, eveningwear, lifestyle and fitness
in swimsuit, and their on-stage question. Each phase of the
competition is designed to provide insight into the contestants abilities.
The curtain went up at 7:00PM to the applause of close to 175
patrons and guests as our contestants and dance ensembles from
the New Hampshire Acadamie of Dance entertained us with their
talents.
