The dates for the 2025 Miss Strawberry Pageant are here, and it is time for young, aspiring queens to prepare for their time to shine.

The 2025 Miss Strawberry Pageant will hold its registration day on Feb. 2, 2025 at the Jefferson State Performing Arts Center in Clanton from 2-4 p.m. The pageant will be held on March 8, 2025 at Jemison High School starting at 11 a.m.

There will be six age groups available to compete in for this pageant — Baby Miss (0-2 years old), Wee Miss (3-4 years old), Little Miss (5-8 years old), Young Miss (9-12 years old), Junior Miss (13-15 years old) and Miss (16-19 years old). The Baby Miss and Wee Miss groups will be a photogenic pageant only, and queens will only be crowned in the Little, Young, Junior and Miss age groups. All those interested in competing must be a Chilton County resident or attend a school within the Chilton County Schools system.
