Miss Oregon
The Miss Oregon competition is a regional scholarship competition and beauty pageant that selects the representative for the US state of Oregon in the Miss America pageant. The annual event includes contestants from across the state and awards scholarships to the participants.
==History==
The event began in 1947 as the Miss Oregon Pageant and was founded by the merchants in the coastal city of Seaside.〔Miss Oregon Pageant starts today in Seaside. ''The Oregonian'', July 8, 2004.〕 Miss Oregon was designated the official State Hostess in 1969.〔(Chapter 186 – State Emblems; State Boundary ) 2005 Oregon Revised Statutes〕 In 2001, Katie Harman was crowned Miss Oregon and went on to win the Miss America crown, becoming the only Miss Oregon winner of the national event. The event is now titled the Miss Oregon Scholarship Pageant.〔Foyston, John. Miss Portland rises to the top, takes Miss Oregon title. ''The Oregonian'', July 2, 2007.〕
The event is held at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center at the Oregon Coast with local Seaside merchants as the primary sponsors of the annual contest.〔 The two-day event narrows the competition down to ten finalists on the first day before selecting a winner on the second day.〔 Events at the event include an evening wear competition, talent competition, bathing suit competition, and a competition in casual wear.〔 The competition includes an interview on-stage as the final portion before a winner is selected.〔Tareen, Sophia.

In addition to the chance to become Miss America, the winner also receives scholarships.〔 Contests range in age from 17 to 24, and must first win local competitions before qualifying for the Miss Oregon contest.〔
