The StarDaze festival sponsors the Miss Southeast Arkansas and Southeast Arkansas Outstanding Teen scholarship pageants. These pageants are recognized as part of the nationally renowned Miss America Scholarship Pageant system. Both winners go on to represent Southeast Arkansas in their respective state pageant. The pageant is open to residence, full-time employees, or full-time students of the following counties: Arkansas, Ashley, Bradley, Calhoun, Chicot, Cleveland, Dallas, Desha, Drew, Grant, Jefferson, Lincoln, Monroe, Ouachita and Phillips.
Our 2011 pageant will be held on Saturday, February 19th.
We are thrilled that both of our 2010 winners, Maegan Inzer, Miss Southeast Arkansas (pictured on left) and Randee Jo Langley, Miss Southeast Arkansas Outstanding Teen (pictured on right) will be with us to entertain and crown their successors. We will also have Miss Arkansas 2010, Alyse Eady with us to help entertain pending she is not serving in a new role as Miss America!
