Calling All Contestants: Queen Scheherazade Apps Due Soon

First the good news about contesting for the title of 2010 Queen Scheherazade for the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival: You don’t have to know how to spell Scheherazade.

Now the bad: It helps.

Deadline for entry in the Queen Scheherazade Scholarship Pageant is Oct. 7 at 4 p.m.   This year’s entrants will compete for a $3,500 scholarship prize (the queen) or $3,000 for Princesses Dunyazade and Jasmine. And, no, you don’t know how to spell those, either.

But it helps.

As an entrant, a 17- through 25-year-old young woman will be asked a variety of questions posed by judges, and a 3.0 gpa is required, so knowing how to spell won’t hurt. Contestants will NOT have to compete in a talent or swimsuit competition.

More information is available by contacting Veronica Helgeland at 951 955-5835 or click here for lots more infoà Official Pageant Rules & Info.

You definitely won’t be asked to spell “Helgeland.
