Kim Tuttle, of Guymon, will be competing for Miss Teen Oklahoma this month in Norman.
The pageant will be on July 18-20 and the winner will recieve a $1,000 cash scholarship and a $1,000 U.S. savings bond.
The title holder will also be eligible to compete for the national title and other scholarships, awards and prizes.
Tuttle has competed twice before, giving her some experience with the pageant. In the previous pageants, she placed in the top ten.
According to Tuttle, even if she does not win the competition, she plans to stay actively involved with the program. She intends to do so by volunteering on the staff of the Arkansas and New York programs this summer.
"I truly believe this program opens young women's eyes to their true inner potential and endless possibilities," Tuttle said.
Tuttle is looking forward to making the Panhandle proud and advancing past the top ten this year.
Each state candidate will be scored in five judging categories: scholastic record, achievement and service to school and community, personal development of talent and skills, personality projections in formal wear and interview.
The State Pageant Finals will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 20, in Meacham Auditorium on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman. The event is open to the general public, and tickets will be available for purchase at the door. Special guests will include the current reigning Miss Teen of Oklahoma, Samantha Ali of Fairview.
Tuttle is a 2008 graduate of GHS and is the daughter of Steve and Rita Tuttle of Guymon. |
