There is no overreaching authority for the local pageants, which operate independently, so it is unknown how many have gone to athletic wear, according to Galster.Īntioch is not alone in making pageant changes. Girls and young women compete in local pageants for scholarships and the opportunity to represent their communities in a variety of events. "I want their minds, I want their personalities." "A lot of these girls feel so awkward," Galster said. She said the perception is swimsuits can emphasize physical flaws, which shouldn't be part of the competition. Like other local competitions, Miss Antioch is a feeder to the Miss Lake County State Pageant, which does not have a bathing suit competition, Galster said. "Ladies, if you have been thinking about competing in this year's pageant but the swim suit portion of the pageant scares you, do not worry, we have taken it out of our pageant and replaced it with athletic wear," the Facebook post read. Advertising for applicants for the June 16 pageant was direct.
