Four contestants competed, but the judges picked Shannon Carnes as the winner of the annual scholarship pageant. The young ladies competed in four different areas, including giving speeches, an interview, and evening gowns. Plus, each of them had to show off particular skills in the creative performances category, which ranged from singing, playing piano, photography, and even a baking demonstration. Because of the pandemic, the pageant had to be canceled in 2020, but organizers were glad to bring the tradition back this year.

The pageant was started in 1992 and has been a summer tradition for the Wapakoneta Community and the young ladies who participate in it.
