* Relinquished Crown | What is Miss Deaf Oregon Pageant?Miss Deaf Oregon Pageant (MDOP), affiliated with Oregon Association of the Deaf,
started in 1973 and is held biennially during off years. The purpose of
the pageant is to encourage young ladies ages 17 to 27 to have an
opportunity to represent Oregon in the Miss Deaf America Pageant held
biennially at the National Association of the Deaf conference in event years.
This
Miss Deaf Oregon Pageant is open to young Deaf women from all over the
state of Oregon representing their hometowns. The pageant offers these
women the opportunity to develop their personalities, self-confidence
and poise as well as to display their talents, voice their opinions and
tell of their ambitions. It presents these women with the opportunity
to win educational rewards in the form of scholarships and a chance to
enter the Miss Deaf America Pageant.
To be
eligible, a young lady must be single, never have been married and
never have born a child bearing. She must be a high school graduate by
the first official day of the national finals. Hearing loss is a factor
and must meet the requirements of a 65-decibel or more hearing loss in
both ears.
The Miss Deaf Oregon Pageant as
well as Miss Deaf America Pageant is judged on Private interviews,
presentations, talents, evening gowns and stage interviews.
Chaperones
help the ladies by being responsible for their scheduled agendas and
seeing that they are given support during the pageants.
