“There is an optional Miss Photogenic award in each category,” Starkey said. “There’s an additional $10 fee, and they just mail in their photo and their extra $10 with their entry form.”
The older winners from throughout the day will have the opportunity to assist in award presentations during the Miss Minden Pageant that night, she said.
