Tonight was the 46th annual Miss Staten Island Pageant! Two women took away titles and the chance to compete next summer for the Miss New York crown.
One of the longest running locals in the state, the Miss Staten Island Scholarship Organization has won national awards for the quality of their production and overall program. They have consistently provided some of the highest scholarship amounts in the state and many of their previous titleholders have become pivotal members of the fabric of the community. The strength of tonight's competition spoke to the coveted nature of the titles this organization offers.
The theater at New Dorp High School was packed with fans of all ages and titleholders from across the region. The show was a blast. For those who weren't one of the hundreds in the crowd, catch the competition highlights on SI Live to see what I'm talking about.
Absolutely classic winning pictures. Get to know these women, they are absolutely incredible. Click the 'Local Titleholders' tab on the top of my blog to find information and keep up with their years. I am so incredibly sure that both will be welcomed by Staten Island with open arms, as they are fine examples of the incredible women this community has to offer.
Every single contestant walked away with an award during tonight's competition, with honors ranging from academic to artistic excellence. This is what makes the Staten Island program so exceptional; they highlight the value of each individual participant and allow no woman to walk away unnoticed. So congratulations to all the contestants for the beautiful work you did tonight and all the excellence you bring to your community! A huge thank you to outgoing titleholders, Maria DeSantis and Amanda Alicea. Maria made Staten Island proud when she made the top ten at Miss New York this summer, as did Amanda when she took home awards for highest scores in both non-finalist talent and non-finalist interview. Here's wishing Jamie Lynn and Stephanie just as much success over the coming year!! We are all excited for you!
