MISS SANPETE COUNTY
The Miss Sanpete County Scholarship Competition is affiliated with the Miss America Organization. The Miss America Organization is a 501c4 not-for-profit organization, the nation’s leading advocate for women’s education, and the largest provider of scholarship assistancew to young women in the United States. It awards millions of dollars in scholarships annually.
The new Miss Sanpete County will receive a $2,000 scholarship and will compete for the title of Miss Utah in June 2022. Candidates seeking to be chosen as the new Miss Sanpete County will compete in the following categories: Interview, Talent, Red Carpet Wear and On-Stage Interview/ Social Impact Initiative Statement.
Lydia Madsen of Fairview has served as Miss Sanpete County 2020. She is a business major and will be a senior at Southern Utah University. She competed at the Miss Utah competition in June where she performed a vocal solo for her talent.
Madsen’s favorite portion of competition is the personal interview. “I love interviewing because it gives me a chance to meet with the judges one-on-one and really express who I am,” Madsen said. “You can only learn so much about someone from seeing them onstage, so the opportunity to have an actual conversation is everything.”
Madsen has spent her year of service focusing on her Social Impact Initiative “Lend a Hand,” which focuses on uniting our communities through service.
