Chanel Jacobs Competed For The
Miss Jr. Teen Raleigh Title
Chanel Jacobs of Fayetteville was recently selected to participate in
Nationals’ 2008 Miss Jr. Teen Raleigh pageant competition that will took
place on December 14, 2008. Chanel learned of her acceptance into this
year’s competition as Nationals, Inc. announced their selections on Monday
afternoon. Chanel submitted an application and took part in an interview
session that was conducted by Patty Neidert, this year’s Raleigh Pageant
Coordinator.
Chanel competed, for her share of thousands of dollars in prizes and
specialty gifts that were distributed to contestants. Chanel competed in the
Miss Jr. Teen division, one of four divisions that had young ladies between
the ages of 7 and 19 competing in modeling routines which include casual
wear and formal wear. Most important, Chanel displayed her personality
and interviewing skills while interviewing with this year’s Raleigh judging
panel. Personality is the number one aspect that each contestant is judged
on during all phases of competition.
If Chanel win the title of Miss Jr. Teen Raleigh, she would represent
Raleigh and the surrounding communities at the Cities of America National
Competition that will take place in Orlando, Florida. Over $60,000.00 in
prizes and awards will be presented at the National Competition while each
winner enjoys this expense paid trip of five nights and six days in Orlando,
Florida.
There is no cost to Chanel for participating in the pageant competition. Community businesses, organizations, and private individuals will
assist Chanel in participating in this year’s competition by becoming an
official sponsor to her. Through sponsorship, each contestant receives all
the necessary training, rehearsals, and financial support which will allow
Chanel to become a very confident and well-prepared contestant in this year’s
Raleigh Pageant.
Any business, organization, or private individual who may be interested in becoming a sponsor to Chanel may contact her pageant coordinator, Patty Neidert at 1-800-569-2487.
