Pontotoc’s 2027 Miss Hospitality and Teen entries due Dec. 19, 2026

Pontotoc County residents interested in the 2027 Miss Hospitality or Miss Teen Pontotoc Hospitality scholarship competitions have until Dec. 19, 2026, to enter, according to new local notices shared by the Chamber. Both flyers list Jan. 9, 2027, as the competition date.

The notices set out different age groups: 18–24 for Pontotoc County Miss Hospitality and 14–17 for Miss Teen Pontotoc Hospitality. Those ages are measured as of July 14, 2027. Each flyer also calls for Pontotoc County residency and a $50 entry fee.

Both competitions describe a five-minute interview and on-stage phases. Organizers say a formal pageant requires at least three contestants; if that minimum is not met, the notice for each competition describes a smaller tea-pageant format. Prospective entrants should review the full flyer for their category’s competition phases.

Interested entrants and people with questions are directed to Kelsie Cruse or the Pontotoc Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber lists 662-489-5042 and chamber@pontotocchamber.com as its public contact information. The source flyers and Chamber contact page are linked below.

The published notices do not specify a pageant venue or start time. This announcement covers the entry deadline and local requirements; applicants should obtain application materials and remaining event arrangements directly from the organizers.
