Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant
The Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant is a teen pageant based out of St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. Founded in 1996, the pageant sets out to annually showcase the talents and achievements and build the confidence of the province's brightest young women, between the ages of 13 and 18. It is currently the longest-running teen pageant in the province, and one of the most widely recognized and successful pageants in Canada, and is one of the few pageant events in Canada to be televised.
The winner becomes an active ambassador and role model for the province's young women, and over the course of her reign, tours the province, volunteering at various community festivals and charitable events. She is also the recipient of a formidable prize package, including a $1,500 academic scholarship. As of 2009, the pageant is also the selection medium for Newfoundland & Labrador's delegates at the Miss Teen Canada-World Pageant, the largest teen pageant in Canada.
