In conjunction with the 2010 Miss Illinois Outstanding Teen Pageant, which will be contested on May 28-30, 2010 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts in Springfield, the M.I.S.A. will name a third state titleholder, Miss Illinois Outstanding Pre-Teen 2010, who will be crowned that weekend along with Miss Illinois Outstanding Teen 2010.

The Miss Illinois Outstanding Pre-Teen Pageant is open to young ladies ages 10-12. Contestants must be residents of Illinois and meet all eligibility requirements as set forth by the Miss Illinois Scholarship Association and the Miss America Organization.

Contestants will be judged on the following criteria (percentages of total scores indicated in parenthesis):

  • Sportswear (10%)
  • Evening Gown (10%)
  • Onstage Question (5%)

Community Service and Scholastic Achievement will be judged by an outside panel prior to the pageant.

The winner will receive a prize package and will also appear on stage and perform her talent at the 2010 Miss Illinois Pageant in June.
