Registration is now open for the upcoming Miss Minden St. Jude Pageant, scheduled for June 13, an event designed to highlight much more than stage presence and sparkle.

The pageant invites girls ages 3 through 13 to participate in a community-centered event that blends tradition with service, encouraging young contestants to learn the value of kindness, compassion and giving back to others.

The entry fee for contestants is $50, and participants will also take part in fundraising efforts benefiting Minden St. Jude, with all proceeds going directly toward supporting children and families served through St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Every dollar raised will stay focused on helping families in need, reinforcing the pageant’s mission of service over competition.

Contestants will be divided into four age divisions:

Tiny Miss: ages 3–4

Little Miss: ages 5–7

Young Miss: ages 8–10

Pre-Teen: ages 11–13

Spots are limited, and organizers encourage early registration as interest continues to grow ahead of the June event. Click the link to register https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6X1BrKDQ7SzR3-7tjH4OZLMSyOWxBu0WvstbETKKSOxxVUg/viewform
