Miss New Mexico Pageant

This is the third year the Spencer will host the three nights of preliminary rounds and final competition for the beautiful and talented candidates seeking the Miss New Mexico 2013 scholarship and crown as well as the Outstanding Teen Crown. Nationally, over 13,000 local contestants compete in over 1,300 local and state pageants on the way to being crowned Miss America. The 53 national finalists are thought to be the most beautiful, talented and intelligent young women in America.

The competitions - demonstrating style, service, character and scholarship - culminate in the suspenseful finals on Saturday, June 22. All will be judged, with utmost discretion, by a panel of celebrity judges selected from various regions of the United States. Among the judges will be former Miss Americas, star musicians, business leaders and philanthropists.

Each of the 20+ young ladies competing for the Miss New Mexico Crown will receive college scholarship assistance, with the ultimate crown winner receiving $10,000 of direct scholarship support - all made possible by the R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard Foundation and the Westheimer Family Foundation. The Ruidoso-based Hubbard Foundation supports education and humanities and has provided thousands in scholarship assistance to Miss New Mexico contestants in recent years. The Westheimer Foundation, also an educational advancement foundation, has matched the funds from the Hubbard Foundation to increase the scholarship for not only the top achievers in the competition, but a significant scholarship for every young lady competing in this year’s competition. The Miss New Mexico Organization is humbled by the generosity of these two great Foundations for recognizing the achievements of these deserving young women!
