The Miss West Sound Organization will hold its annual Miss West Sound and Miss West Sound’s Outstanding Teen Competition on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 5 p.m. at The Admiral Theater, 515 Pacific Ave. in Bremerton.

The competition will include 12 contestants from around the Kitsap County area. Executive Director Amanda Cheatham said she is impressed with the caliber of this year’s contestants.

“We are very pleased with the number of intelligent, ambitious and talented young women who have entered the competition,” Cheatham said. “With the number of outstanding contestants, it will be a challenging task for the judges to choose the next Miss West Sound and Miss West Sound’s Outstanding Teen.”

Contestants will compete in five phases, including talent, interview, lifestyle and fitness, evening wear and onstage question. This year, the organization is awarding $10,000 in scholarships.

During their year of service, Miss West Sound and Teen will travel across the Kitsap region, speaking to government officials, business leaders, community groups and all types of citizens about their platforms and encouraging them to become involved in their causes.

They will also be eligible to compete for the Miss Washington and Miss Washington’s Outstanding Teen titles in May and July 2015, respectively.

“Miss West Sound and Teen will not only serve as role models for young women and as an ambassador for the Miss America Organization, they will also urge girls and young women to develop their leadership skills and to take an active role in their communities,” said Jill Nicks, Assistant Director of the Miss West Sound Organization.

Tickets for the 2015 competition may be purchased on Brown Paper Tickets at www.misswestsound.brownpapertickets.com or at the door on the day of the event for $20.
