The judges at the annual Ms. New York Senior America Pageant select the gracious lady who best exemplifies the qualities
of the modern dynamic senior woman.
The Ms. New York Senior America Queen then goes on
to represent New York State in the National Senior America Pageant and she receives $2,000
generously donated by the Lenz Family Foundation.
The contestants, women
60 years of age or older, are judged in 4 categories.
- INTERVIEW
Earlier on the day of the pageant, the judges meet privately
with each contestant for 5 minutes to gain insight to
her personality, poise and ability to communicate. The purpose of the interview is to
determine how well the contestant would represent Ms. New York Senior America with the
public and the media.
- EVENING GOWN PRESENTATION
The judges evaluate the poise, grace and appearance of each contestant.
This is not a beauty or bathing suit contest; elegance is the key factor in this event.
- PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
Each contestant presents a brief statement of the philosophy that she uses in her approach to life.
The Philosophy Of Life Statement is limited to a maximum of 35 seconds.
- TALENT
Each contestant is provided the opportunity to display her talent for the judges and the audience. The talent
may be in music, the arts or any other activity appropriate for an elegant, senior woman. The Talent presentation
is limited to a maximum of two minutes and 45 seconds.
