Join Lake County Scholarship Program in Making a Difference

Our annual pageant will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2025, and is open to applicants aged 6 to 22 in Wauconda, Lakemoor, Volo, Island Lake, Lake Zurich, Deerpark, Kildeer, Hawthorn Woods, and Long Grove.  

We’re passionate about empowering young women and girls, ages 6–22, through leadership, service, and scholarship opportunities. Participants take part in a personal interview, on-stage public speaking, pop questions, and a formal wear presentation—all designed to build confidence and character. 

This isn’t a beauty pageant. We’re a volunteer-driven program that exists to inspire the young women of Lake County to “be the change they wish to see in the world.”  We welcome and celebrate every look, ability, shape, culture, ethnicity, and religious background.   Serving Wauconda Area (including Island Lake), Volo/Lakemoor, & Ela Township Divisions - Little, Junior, Teen & Miss   

There is a $50 application fee.

Please join us for one of our information meetings to learn more about our program and the role of a Queen! If you plan to attend, please RSVP and include the date of the meeting.
